Illness and Lowered Libido Helps Make the Choice for Weight Loss Surgery

"I was always a big kid growing up..."
My weight never bothered me. To me, every kid gets picked on for something
and by the time my junior and senior years in high school came around
the jokes about my weight had stopped and no one seemed to care any
more. This is what usually made me rather content with my own appearance.
However once I graduated and I finally grew up and my body stopped
growing my personal contentment would be the cause of serious health
issues. These things never shrike at you first, they always sit back
in the shadows and grow in seriousness.
Once I reached my late 20's about the age of 27 or 28 I found my own
sexual prowess had become less potent I guess you could say. I knew
my weight had to be connected with this problem and every attempt to
loose weight was met with some adversity.
It wasn't an eating disorder it was just a simple case of I was too
lazy to want to do anything about it. Sitting around all day cause I
was always tired would lead to my becoming lethargic and by becoming
lethargic, my body was suffering in the way of the posture and the muscle
mass or what little I possessed of such a thing. I could already feel
them locking up at every joint.
Of course later I had discovered that my somewhat lazy attitude wasn't
being lazy at all. My weight had added another problem to my now growing
list of health issues.
The weight was placing considerable strain in my heart. Not enough
oxygen was making its way through my body and my red blood cells were
becoming deprived thus making myself sleepy all the time. Between this
and my apparent impotency I now wanted to do something about. I was
28 years old and not only could I not maintain an erection but I was
tired and winded all the time as well as on my way to having some possible
ailments.
Once the doctor mentioned the possibility of Diabetes, I was off and
looking into gastric bypass surgery. My doctor had first suggested a
diet and weight loss the old fashion way but I wanted quick results
and I planned on taking this fresh start and running with it. I wasn't
about to mess up again with this second chance I was lucky enough to
gain.
