Are the liquids staying down?

Praying for you daily. Please keep posting your progress

I think people see obesity as a sign of weakness in people, or lack of self control. Obese people in general are looked down upon, people prefer to look and communicate with thinner more attractive people. This is not my opinion, rather proven facts. The general non obese public think simple terms "Just stop eating so much, or eating poorly and that will solve your problems.... Get on a treadmill instead.... For the love of all that is good." So I think the reason people feel it's a bad decision is because they don't understand what we go through, our physical needs, our chemical make up, or addictions. We ALL have our bad habits.... Some drink too much, smoke too much, work too much, exercise too much, watch porn, or other forms of sexual addictions, some do illegal drugs, some are just sloths.... Pick your poison ! I am thankful there is a tool we can choose to help us with our addictions, to achieve a healthier lifestyle, reduce health risks by 95% , reduce 5yr mortality and lead a healthier life! This tool allows us TO DO SOMETHING ABOUT IT. It is drastic but it is proven to reverse the following: Type II Diabetes, hypertension, migraines, GERD, Urinary incontinence, cardiovascular disease, asthma, obstructive sleep apnea, depression, degenerative joint disease, fatty liver, metabolic syndrome, gout and much much more! This is a risky surgery BUT look at the health risks you have if you continue to get bigger and bigger! Easy by no means!!!!!! It's a very risky and tough decision! I personally cannot continue to live in this shell, getting bigger and bigger... Or losing and gaining back. I believe the sleeve will force me to behave better initially to get me to a healthy weight and lifestyle... As well as learn to have a proper portion control that will fill me up faster with less food. I am determined to get healthier to be able to play with Grandkids and maybe someday I can actually be able to run again. Right now I can barely walk!!!

I think your initial goal should be healthy and maintainable like 180, then once you achieve you can lower it if you want. I think having your first, second, then third goal and so on makes it easier for you to feel accomplished and not so untouchable.

I have not been sleeved yet, but I will say that in the past when I have done that it does seem to help your body to,change things up and then go back to your diet. I can't speak to the sleeved life yet as. I am still on preOp process.

Good luck with Dr appointment. I sure hope,they find a cure for this and get you in the right direction. How is your wife doing?

Have they agreed to do the radiological tests?

My heart hurts for you....... I will pray that the physicians will look deeper and find an alternate treatment for you, or better yet a miraculous intervention. Phil 4:13 You can do all things through Christ! I know you will get better. Xoxoxo

Late Feb or first of March ;0)
