Bariatric surgery stories motivate others to succeed. One person speaks of being so over that she had difficulty walking from room to room without becoming short of breath. Her high blood pressure, sleep apnea, and heartburn were getting worse. She had bariatic surgery 14 months ago and has lost 155 pounds and her sleep apnea, heartburn, and high blood pressure are gone. She even is able to now run races. Her story is a common one and serves to motivate others.
