Not an Easy Decision

Not everyone who has made this choice "announces" it.  I would dare to guess that it's not a spur of the moment or a lightly made decision.

Bariatric surgery. 

Usually we have tried to lose weight but to no avail.  We starve ourselves, and if we can exercise we usually hit a plateau once a few pounds are lost.  For whatever reason, we can never achieve our goal.   Now I say if we can exercise because let's face it, to qualify for bariatric surgery to be covered by insurance you have to be at least 100lbs overweight or have a BMI over 40.  Usually at that point movement is not easy.  In my particular case it is damn near impossible.
