RE: FW: Seattletimes.com: Weight-loss surgery mea ns weighing ...

[Guest guest]

Let's see...Mama Cass, Dan Blocker, Candy........to name only a very

few, famous folks who died too young due to obesity. Now, in the general

(not famous) population...there are literally millions. And we're not even

talking SUPER morbidly obese, just MO. I think I outweighed Dan Blocker

pre-op.

Tell the guy to go check out a nursing home. Not too many MO folks there AT

ALL. Folks in their 60's, 70's, 90's and on....but no MO. That pretty much

says it all right there. If I would normally have lived to 90...but I'm MO,

I should expect to make it to 80...right?? How many MO 80 year olds do you

see???? ZIP. Zero. Zilch.
