⭐Jun23,21: I am 68, retired on Vancouver Isl., Canada. I joined FS in 2017 but left 6 mo. later. Now I am back again, older, heavier & sicker than before.🤢This time with more obesity-caused illness. Awaiting gall bladder & heart ablation surgery. 👨‍⚕️👩‍⚕️🩺This time with full support & a concrete plan by my heart Doctor. No longer just hearing "loose weight & become more active" or even worse, "lets try 🔼heart drugs & 🔼dosage" 🤕My bingeing & stuffed stomach are no longer creating joy & calm. Instead, causing great pain...gall bladder inflammation. 👵This time I do not want to die anytime soon. And worst is the constant pain. I am going to use every weight loss tool Doctors recommend, even bariatric surgery, in order to have a better life in my last 2-3 decades.
