I have Fatty Liver, Obstructive sleep Apnea, Borderline diabetes, Sciatica Pain, Hiatal Hernia and more.
My Stats are

Sleevedmel2015, I am same weight and height. My surgery is in August. Don't have exact date yet. Have my end June 5th. Have finished everything else so should have a tentative date soon. I am 48 yes old, mother of 3, Nana to 4. I've had 5 back surgeries and have very bad back. That's how I gained all this extra weight. But on a new outlook of exercise and better eating habits.
