Why I had the surgery!

My sleep apnea was one of the worst Dr. Roye had ever seen!  Great right?!

In one year I had developed diabetes and GERD

My grandmother died of a stroke at only 54 years old.  That is only 16 years older than I am now.  

I am build JUST LIKE my grandmother.  She had high blood pressure, high cholesterol and I would DEF assume she had sleep apnea and diabetic (she never ever went to the doctors) and she probably had GERD too!

SO ... as to NOT die at 54 years old ....

I decided to take the advice of my very conservative primary doctor and look into the surgery.

The road from there went pretty fast.  From start to finish ... six months. 

This is my Nana taken from me when I was 14 years old.  I wonder if the bypass had been offered to her when she was alive ... if she would still be with me today.  THIS is why I had the surgery.  I don't want my children or grandchildren to wonder these things!
