I had carpal tunnel and ulnar nerve release surgery in March 2013. Seeing the word "obesity" listed under my health history just made my heart sink. After the death of a loved one and a health assessment that revealed high cholesterol, I knew I could no longer live in denial. I do not wish to invite an early death.
