It's not unreasonable to be afraid, but if your spouse is overweight enough to qualify for surgery, the health risks being that overweight are just about, if not more, dangerous than the procedure. They sure outweigh it in my opinion.

I watched my father die a slow death from Type II Diabetes and he followed his dr's orders to the "t" from the moment he was diagnosed.

And it still killed him.

I dont want that for my children.

I'm willing to take the risk on the table vs. losing my sight from sugar or heart attack...or even living with constant aches and pains.

I want to be able to carry my daughter in from the car if she falls asleep.

it's worth it. And things have come so far now...they really have.

about the clear liquid diet...is he eating jello also? I had to do this one for something else and thought that eating jello helped with the sensation of chewing....

when your body is coming off that junk we put into it, it's hard.....you can either go on a vacation, or lock him in the closet
