Teresa.. you bring up some very, very good points.. and Kelly, your info has been really helpful, I think.

Henry, I'm sorry you're dealing with so much pain and suffering. I'm also sorry you have decided to channel your energies in such a negative fashion. What you are trying to do would have consigned me to knee & hip replacement surgery, possible leg amputation and blindness. I am so thankful that I had this surgery as an option.

I do hope that there will be new ways of helping those like me who only ended up fatter after every attempt to lose weight.. ways that are less invasive but until then, I will be a vocal proponent of those in need getting help if they desire it.
