Thanks for sharing that story!!! I see my doctor again in a couple of weeks. I'm someone who enjoys exercise but a bad knee has stopped me from jogging, my current back issues are getting in the way of the walks and other exercises I wish to do. So eating less is the only other thing that is within my control at present. I am working on it. I would be surprised if my doctor would prescribe a weight loss drug, but the risk of having a stroke terrifies the hell out of me. I will be asking him about all the options.
