Good afternoon:
I have one week left before I check myself in at California Pacific Medical Center in San Francisco for weight loss surgery. My weight loss has been fluctuating by 3-5 pounds over the course of the last three or so days.
Received an email from Barbara Metcalf at Pacific Laparoscopy and she asked if I wanted to go public with my issues. I told her if the bariatric weight loss surgery helps my heart like we hope then heck yes. This is a serious problem, young people are dying for no apparent reason. Well it is due to a problem they have had for years. It is called morbid obesity and sleep apnea. My journey will begin in one week I am excited, yet nervous inside. I think I have everything in order. I look forward to writing about my journey and who knows maybe I will be a spokesman for something. Stranger things have happened.
