Dear Medical Establishment, Lets play a game of pretend. Lets pretend that you actually care and are going to listen to somebody, and I will pretend that you actually do care and are going to listen to me. First off, I am 52 years old, morbidly obese, and I have bulging disks in my lumbar region which will cause pain in my hips and legs. Second, the pain in my legs is enough that regular exercise, including walking, is very painful. Third I have asked about a gastric bypass in the past, and would like to have it done, but of course physicians are going to warn me away from that and tell me to get regular exercise (see point 2). Fourth, and here is the big one, lets assume the patient, me, wants to do something with their life other than sit in an apartment all day in pain. If anybody knows a doctor that is willing to listen to the patient, me, and will actually allow me to get a procedure that will benefit me, allowing me to take weight off, and maybe the pressure on my spine and associated nerves, and also allow me to exercise more without the pain, please................SEND THEM MY WAY!
