Lifespan Calculator

Hey y'all!

This is very interesting!  Judy sent it to me in an email, but I just had to share it with everyone.

This is a link to a lifespan calculator from Northwestern Mutual Life Ins. Co.:

Supposedly they can predict how long you're going to live.  Well, I answered all the questions using my current weight and eating/exercise habits and I got the number 95 years.  Wow, that's a long life.

But then, out of curiosity, I answered the questions again using my pre-WLS stats.  OMG.  It dropped by 15 years to a lifespan of 80 years! 

Never doubt that WLS is a life-changing experience!  When we say that WLS has saved our lives, we mean it! 

Vickie....Judy sent it to me too...it says I will live to be 94....LOL...that has got to be way off....I don't even want to be that old!!

Love and hugs....connie d

Aloha Vickie...wow, this was very interesting. When I put in current stats, I am going to live to 94!! When I put in stats when I was 325 lbs. or over, I come up with 70!! That means I would have had only months to live........ If anyone asks me if WLS is worth it......the answer is simple.....YES, YES, YES!

Thanks for the perspective.........I am grateful
