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

Even if I wanted it, I may not be approved anyway since I'm so close to the lower end of their BMI cutoff. That and I do already have issues with occasional kidney stones and with upper GI issues and acid stomach so it's very likely that they'd reject me for those.

But either way, it got my attention so while I'm trying to figure out how to get active, I need to use the diet to slowly get the number down
