Everyone who is morbidly obese is aware of it. It's not your place to speak up or offer solutions.

Hi everyone. This is my first post, and I'm glad I found this sub-group. My RNY was done on August 21, and I was able to resume platelet donations one month after surgery. The Red Cross here was only concerned about any antiobiotics or other meds I may have been on (none), and they always check vital signs and iron before…
