Hi What decided me was a bad back yrs of problems with my health,wt like a yo yo.diabetes high blood pressure bad colesteral but the final thing was back surg that didnt work,spinal cord inj that left my legs paralyzed from the knees down,my surg site wouldnt heal.6 months in hosp and i couldnt even get out of bed,diapers
ivs and they were going to put me in a nursing home. i was only 60. and i said no way. i begged for rehab and to give me a chance.and they did.but i got mersa from my long hosp stay. more ivs and pick lines but i did every thing the rehab folks told me too.and i learned to walk again with a walker and eventially i made it home with nursing care ivs and a ton of equipment. i gained 70 more # in ayr and i was so tired of being sick and handicapped so i had the surg. ive lost almost100# and i can stay at home bymyself,can bathe myself, do my crafts,get in and out of a car im mobile inspite of my handicap and im happy. dont wait like i did till yout health is shot all becuz of weight issues. im so glad i did this. it still a daily thing,just a tool but its working for me. ive come so far that failure is not an option for me. i choose life.i no longer take diabetes or colesteral meds, i exercise and took up boxing. I cant advice u what to do but for me the surg changed my life. i fought for myself for the first time in my life. thats my story ,hope it helps you.
