Hi, my name is Chris. I'm 58 years old and feel every bit of it. I've been diabetic for 19 years and have developed neuropathy below my knees. I exercise 5 days a week but don't seem to be able to lose any weight. So, after a discussion with my doctor, I've decided to go for bariatric surgery. This is not going to be easy. I have to change a lifetimes worth of eating habits. But each journey starts with a single step. So this is it.
