Hi, I am David's sister. I want everyone to know how proud my sisters and I are of David. Since he was 9 years old he has struggled with his weight. Obesity runs in our family. My aunt died at a young age from it, she was in her early thirtys, my grandmother in her fortys was way over weight too and died. We have been worried about David for a long time but knew that he had to make the decision to do something about his weight on his own. We wanted, but he had to want it too. David, we will support you all the way. We are so proud of you and we love you very much. Your sisters know that you can beat this.
We were talking to Tony, Dana and Bob the day of your surgery and we said that we can't wait to take you shopping and do other things that we take for granted that you have not been able to do since you were a child. Well, you might have been able to do them in some degree but not like you really wanted too. I have watched David suffer for so long. I have seen children look at him and snicker, but the sad thing is...I have seen adults do this too. He has feelings, everyone does, they do not deserve to be treated this way. David, we love you....we support you.
I saw David two nights ago and WOW...is all I can say. He is doing so good. We can already tell a difference in his clothes. We can tell a difference in his walk. He is amazing to us. He is brave. He is our baby brother that we call Crash. We love you David. Keep it up kiddo.
Love your big sis...Debbie
