For every pd overweight take 1 month off life!

I just read an article that a doctor Michael Myers wrote on the web that stated that for every pound you are overweight expect to take a month off your life expectancy! And if you smoke too, forget about it! Wow, in my case I am loosing 11 yrs! I am currently on the waiting list for RNY and have done tons of research and I am really think that WLS is going to save a lot of our years! Just wanted to share. -Tiffany
