He tells me he had his stomach stapled
around a week ago.
Was up to 318 pounds, and get this.
He was watching himself!
Something just snapped he said
and he couldn’t control himself anymore.
High blood pressure cholesterol diabetes
back & knee problems one knee replacement.
He had it all!
He tells me he had his stomach stapled,
and no you just don’t walk into your local hospital,
drop down your Blue Cross card sign up.
He had to first be psychoanalyzed,
like they do those that get sex change operations,
then go to classes run by dieticians
even be interviewed by one.
They put him through the ringer before they
cut into him.
Now he’s gonna be skinny!
Be able to wipe his butt without straining himself,
tie his shoes go for walks with the wife,
stop taking those 8 pills a day.
Do stuff people take for granted;
skinny people.
People who have no problems.
