I was told 11 years ago that my life expectancy was 6 months. It’s been eleven years! I give honor and praise to God. I lost 120 lbs. which helped greatly. Meds worked as well. I’ve had a 60 lb. regain and can’t seem to get the scale to budge downward. I broke my leg and ankle 1 1/2 years ago and had a heart attack before that. I gained weight with each thing. My oxygen says aren’t as good as they were. I was recently diagnosed with emphysema although I have never smoked. I’m concerned my pulmonary artery pressure has risen again. I need to get serious about weight loss! I’m not anxious for a cardiac cath to see what my numbers are. I do know you can get better and have a better quality of life. I’m a living example!
