[QUOTE="1905, post: 627452, member: 2668"] I think you may be surprised that you could possibly have the gastric bypass operation even though you smoke. I know people who have had long surgeries and they smoked. Also, did you ever watch the show "My 600 Pound Life"? I know that's not you, but those people had serious health issues and had the surgery. Make appointments with doctors in your area and other areas, just meet them and ask them questions, interview them, you may find a good one you like, who is ok that you smoke. Another note, I work in the same class as a woman who is very large and cannot walk, she also smokes and can't get the knee surgery. I don't know the particulars on why, but I can guess. She never walks but has this chair with wheels that she scoots around on with her feet. It's an oversized chair with a large bottom vinyl seat and it looks like an office chair. She never gets out of it, except to go to the bathroom. It looks comfy. What if you got something like that? You wouldn't have to put pressure on your feet yet you could still move around. This woman is too proud to get a motorized wheelchair and she walks into the building holding onto a cane type thing that turns into a chair, sort of like a directors chair bottom part thing. She parks in front in a handicapped spot, rests for 10 minutes in the office, rests another 10 minutes in the computer lab, and another in the teacher's lounge before she gets to class. You could get something like that for if you go somewhere, ya know? [/QUOTE]
