I AM NOT MY SIZE

This is something serious and with the co-morbites you've mentioned your doctor should be biting at the bites to help you get rid of these life treating health issues. I too have diabetes and this surgery I'm told will eliminate it instantly! People would look at me also and say I'm vain because I don't look like I need to lose a pound much less have wls but looking healthy and being healthy is a whole nother issue. I have hypertension, high cholesterol and type 2 diabetes so I'm doing what I need to do to save my life as my brother died at age 34 of diabetes and in his honor I will do whatever it takes to fight this disease and if that means wls, here I come. I too had a separate medical experience with a doctor and i didn't trust his opinion therefore i got a second opinion. I know it may be more time consuming but personally I would never want to go under the knife with a doctor that doesn't share my vision!!

Thank you so much, he lived life to the max in such a short time so I do take comfort in that. Well you are between a rock and a hard place as they say but do just what you've said you would, don't be afraid to speak your mind and always pray about anything prior to execution and Jesus will see you through.

You are so welcome. You're right I am between a rock and a hard place. I always pray before going into anything. I have to take Jesus with me and pray He will give me the correct words to say and the correct way to say them. Thank you for kindness.
