“Wasn’t there a story here back in 2008 about Governor Huckabee actually having bariatric surgery on the QT, instead of losing the weight himself, as he claims in his book?”
Do you think that people who have bariatric surgery don’t lose the weight themselves? I have a friend who went through that last year because after years of dieting, and she did diet, she just couldn’t lose the weight. After watching what she has been through, I take offense at your statement. It wasn’t easy. I also lost weight but I did it just through diet. It hasn’t been “easy” for either of us BUT we are healthy and better yet...WE LOOK GREAT for ladies in our late 50’s! So go have YOUR gut cut open, be told you can eat only so much and see if your think it’s easy!
I weigh 340lbs, have heart disease, hypertension (those are part of my VA disability), diabetes, recurring foot/leg infections (have one right now, as a matter of fact) and sleep apnea. You’re preaching to the choir. I can’t do bariatric because it’ll probably kill me.
