Sally,
I just read your post and you never fail to touch my heart. I know the pain of being super morbidly obese. I am 5'8 and right now holding at 458. I have my surgery scheduled for the 16th of this month. It scares me to death thinking that I might die having this done, but I am dying an even slower death the way that I am now. I hope that you get these following requirements out of the way and you will be on to a new and healthier life. I know that this is hard, and you have been through a lot in your life. But you deserve this, you are worthy of this new chance at life. I am so glad that I happened upon your post this afternoon, I see so much of me in your struggles and you perservere where others may have given up the ghost! I am so proud to say that I know you, if it is only through this board. You have been an inspiration to many, I know, including me. Hang in there. God Bless!
