My doctor has my attention now

 The good news is that my GP doesn’t think my blood pressure is too horrible even though it can stand to improve quite a bit. However she’s concerned with the fact that my back is keeping me from exercising and that I’m in a bad cycle because if I exercise it currently hurts my back but I need to improve my back with exercise.

Also, my weight has stagnated and I even put back on a couple of the pounds that I lost when adjusting to the new medicine and kept me from being hungry. She’s always been easy-going when it comes to how to take care of my medical issues. But she got my attention today for sure because she suggested something she never suggested before and even warned me in advance not to be mad at her.

Gastric bypass surgery. 😳😳
  
The thought of having major surgery like that scares the crap out of me. But if she’s that concerned, I have to do something now

I absolutely will. I mean I watch my 600 pound life and see what those people go through and it’s sobering to think that she is suggesting that. Also, I know someone that worked at the department I used to work who had the surgery and she was not much bigger than me, and she died from complications of couple of months later. I do not want that surgery but I need to get serious about losing weight

But since she was dead serious about me looking into it, that concerns me greatly because that confirms that she knows I’m very unhealthy because I’m not “that obese” but I’m quickly becoming “that immobile.”

You know, I've had two back surgeries in my lumbar region and my surgeon said that weight was not a contributing factor to my recovery or even as a cause and I know I'm heavier than you. Just be careful, okay?
