Get Chris Healthy- Bariatric Surgery

If you know me then you know that I have been large all of my life. I remember being heavy from the first time we were weighed at school and fighting with the scale ever since.  This weight has followed me all my life and getting it off has become a matter of life and death for me. In 2006 I fell out of a tree some 30 feet from the ground. In the fall I injured my right knee to where I needed surgery and severely herniated three discs in my lower back.  At the time I was 250lbs.  This fall has caused a lifetime of back pain that has gotten worse over the year as I have gained more and more weight.  Trying to track down the source of the pain and address that by getting injections of steroids, manipulation, acupuncture, and stretching. Each gave a minimal amount of pain relief and each doctor said the same thing lose weight.  In fact looking for answers in this area of medicine LED my family to bankruptcy from the medical bills. So here comes my pitch. On Jan 24th my lower back spasmed so bad it took me to the ground and I immediately went to bed.  With very few exceptions I have been in bed since that day.  Day after day hour after hour. It feels like this prison made of pain will never relent.  This is my last chance.  Thanks.
