OH MY, all the horror stories. My sister is only 29. She weighs about 270 pounds (I think). She has PCOS. She says she does not eat that much but when I have seen her eat, she eats very large quantities. Till she is ill. Personally I think she has some past issues she needs to deal with in order to get the rest of her life together. Sometimes problems that you have come out in other ways. This is all so sad. She just ask me the other day if she could go on vacation with me in June so that she could get her "head together." Maybe I can approach the dangers of this surgery then. Otherwise, I have to support her. I just don't want her to die weather it is from the weight or the surgery.
