Anniegal's Last Stand
Everything has come to a head this year. Diagnosed with BOTH Type-2 diabetes AND sleep apnea in December 2010, I have been seriously considering gastric bypass. This just doesn't seem like a battle I can win. I keep thinking, "If I haven't been able to do it by now - age 47 - what are the chances I'm ever going to be able to do it on my own?"

Everything has come to a head this year. Diagnosed with BOTH Type-2 diabetes AND sleep apnea in December 2010, I have been seriously considering gastric bypass. This just doesn't seem like a battle I can win. I keep thinking, "If I haven't been able to do it by now - age 47 - what are the chances I'm ever going to be able to do it on my own?" But the sugeon has wisely advised me to hold off until I can demonstrate that my use of food as an emotional crutch - to the point of fitting criteria for Binge Eating Disorder - is something I can get some measure of control over.
