Heart-Rending Stories: Desperate Overweight People

These are some absolutely heart-wrenching stories about very desperate, very overweight people. I only wish we could have reached some of these with the low carb message before it came to this. It is very sad. Obviously these folks were loved and will be missed. It seems like such a senseless thing to die like this over this kind of problem. Society and doctors make it seem like the risks are so worth taking - risking those lives that are lost to these kinds of extreme surgical techniques.

I think that since we are aware that food, besides keep us alive, can also kill us. People who is suffering overweight must find support to start a new way of living
