Hey all.I have popped in on this board a couple times way back.
I am not only a drug addict but a food addict too.
The only crack smoker to gain over 100lbs using daily. Unbelievable.
Anyway..I really have packed it on even more since I stopped smoking. My stomach is huge. I look like I am having twins. And the pain in my joints and my feet is excruciating daily. My knees and back are constantly giving me problems. I almost colapsed the other day because my back gave out for a second when I was walking.
I hav a seminar for bariatric surgery Thurs. And am possibly going to have the procedure done. If they think I am a good candidate.
I need to do something before I end up with chronic problems or a disease of some kind.
Exercise and diet are only good for 25 lbs and then I just get stuck. So I get discouraged and stop.
Anyone have bariatric surgery?

What are your thoughts on it?
Thx
