Plus, after reading other’s stories, I know there are ups and downs, but for me the trade off is worth the risk because I want see my girls aged 4 and 10 grow up and not have a dad that is handcuffed to a chair because I am too fat to do anything with them or die from a heart attack…This I a very tough decision. This is truly a personal decision!!!! Hang in there and good luck.

Heya George......I just want to point out that a senior member just means we posted a WHOLE lot.
We may or may not be more knowledgeable. It does usually mean we've been around here awhile, and probably do have vast experience and/or information. But some who just joined are long time post-oppers, and some who have posted a lot have not had surgery yet. Always listen to everyone, read, research, ask your doc, then do what makes sense for you. By the way, you are doing awesome.
