  13. Hello sorry to hear about ur loss my situation is similar lost my mother about a month ago due to obesity and it's complications she was 53..taking care of her it terrifies me..I'm contemplating this surgery not only to longate my life but to have better health. I've lost 52 lbs over the last year with exercise and WW. But still weigh 255 at 5'2 so long journey ahead but hoping if I go thru the surgery it works out for me. If u need someone to talk to I understand hope with each day your mind eases a little because stress and emotion can cause you to sabatoge your efforts. Good luck don't give up and God Bless
