About
My name is Deb and I’m writing today to ask you for a dollar. That’s all, just $1.
I’m 33 years old and severely overweight. I’m 5′7″ and weigh 260lbs. My BMI calculates to 40, which makes me morbidly obese. I have Type 2 Diabetes, High Blood Pressure, Depression, Acid Reflux and muscle pain and soreness.
I have spent my entire life in varying degrees of fat. I have always been the fat friend. I’ve been on every diet plan. I’ve seen counselors and dietitians. I understand what it takes to lose weight. I just haven’t been successful at it.
That being said, the reason for this e-mail is because I would like to get Gastric Bypass surgery however my health insurance doesn’t cover it… for any reason!! I need your help because this surgery can change my life!
Within the first two years of surgery, a person can expect to lose 50 percent to 60 percent of your excess weight. If the dietary and exercise recommendations are followed, most of that weight will stay off long term. In addition to dramatic weight loss, gastric bypass surgery may improve or resolve the following conditions associated with obesity:
· Type 2 (adult-onset) diabetes
· High blood pressure
· High blood cholesterol
· Obstructive sleep apnea
· Gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD)
The improvements observed in type 2 diabetes, high blood pressure and high blood triglycerides may significantly decrease the risk of cardiovascular events in people who have undergone gastric bypass surgery compared with those people who did not have surgery. Also, gastric bypass surgery may reduce the risk of dying of diabetes, heart disease and cancer. The surgery has also shown to improve mobility and quality of life for people who are severely overweight.
My goal is to raise enough money to pay cash for the surgery. I’m asking everyone to donate $1 using the Paypal secured button on my page. For those of you wishing to mail a payment, I’m working on getting a PO Box so sit tight.
