Hi Everyone,
Thank-you for visiting my site. I would like to explain my situation to you as to why I need your assistance. My Doctor says I am obese. I am 130 pounds over my recommended body weight. It is true and I have accepted that. I also have a disease called LUPUS. If you don’t know what that is I will try to explain. My immune system is confused and continually attacks the cartilage in my joints. The symptoms are like a roving arthritis. Whatever joint it decides to attack today becomes swollen and causes very reduced mobility. Not to mention the pain. Ouch. Since it is roving it is not in the same place tomorrow. Today it could be my whole arm, tomorrow it could be my knee, ankle, etc. Lately it has been affecting my legs and ankles more. My Doctor says that my weight is causing the symptoms to intensify there. He says I need to lose those excess pounds so that my symptoms are not so intense. That is easier said than done. I have tried doctor prescribed diet pills but they caused heart palpitations so the doctor said not to take them anymore. I have tried dieting but that never seems to take off more than 5 or 10 pounds. I can’t do much exercise because it aggravates my lupus. This operation is a perfect solution to my obesity and alleviating some of the discomfort associated with my lupus. Please help me achieve my goals.
Thanks
Suzanne
