-----------------------------------------------------

And if you know it and you take the responsibility and avoid the foods and

eat " normal " amounts and exercise and you STILL can't maintain a normal weight,

is it still your responsibility? If you've taken the responsibility to have

the surgery and the surgery fails mechanically, is that still your

responsibility?

Gee, THANKS> I read the words & my pants got tight.

I can do the starchy carbs and they do not do unto me like sugar does.

I can walk thru the bakery dept which is next to produce and the

donuts try to attack me. Yes, I'm sure of it.

Thanks,

Carol, your post is deeply, deeply moving.

<<Memories flooding through my brain of Aunt Frances. I remember

being forced to go into her bedroom while she lay protrate in a pool

of her fat (over 500 lbs.) with tubes coming out of places I didn't

know existed. She would slowly turn her head towards me and with a

big grin tell me how much I looked just like her when she was my

age. EVERYTIME I made the lonely sojourn into her room (being

prompted by a pat on my ass by my mother) I was reminded about how

much I looked just like Aunt Frances.

Those memories still haunt me.

My father died of obesity related problems at 68. 5 of his brothers

and sisters died of obestity related problems before the age of 60.

Aunt Frances' kidneys shut down at 58.

When I decided on the surgery I was very sure I only had another 5-10

years to live, at best.

Aunt Frances...wherever you are...I understand now all you went

through and how no one wanted to step inside that bedroom and look

at you. Forgive me.
