I undersand the reasons.....she would be subject to life threatening complications of surgery...and her current condition isn't life threatening, though I agree it IS debilitating and affects her life quality.
She says that she has been discharged from their care and given no help or information to help her lose weight.......if this is the case(which I would cast doubt upon), then that is very bad.
she should be given help in her struggle to lose weight.
It is never easy to lose weight, but when you are suffering and in pain it is even harder.
