I really felt the need to express my outlook in this

issue. I am a nurse and overweight , and I know

it is affecting my health//////. I'm not really afraid

of dying as this is final,BUT what I am afraid if

Is having a stroke or heart attack and bing soooo

overweight no one can care for me , so where do

you end up in an extended care facility or nursing

home to live out your life, this happens ALL too

often///////////. To me that would be a living death.

I want this surgery so much so I can have a chance

at a normal life and if GOD decides that I will have

other health problems at least my family could care

for me in my home with family and friends around me.

Just my thoughts..............

Lv and prayers to all
