Like so many others I have been heavy all my life.  I never considered surgery an option until a few years ago when it started getting a lot harder to fight the fat.  You can never say how much of a factor obesity is in relation to a person's medical history, they could have had many ailments even if they were thin.  That being said, I fear my mother's medical history.  A young stroke, 44, a heart attack  and second stroke, 60. and I have made peace that this is a viable option for me.  I owe it to myself and my family to have the very best quality of life I can.  The gravity of weight loss surgery is not lost on me, I'm fully aware, and I think this is the best option I have in conjunction with diligent compliance and exercise.  I am hoping to get the DS surgery and work hard to live the rest of my life in a normal sized body.
