stomach staple surgery of 2023

this surgery is never guaranteed
some come away looking terrific
they don’t publicize those left dead
buried in a foreign grave
my friends will take the risk
dreams of being thin
not me this time
I shall stay
alive
fat

Amen, I'm with you here... Although I'm trying like the dickens to lose weight, it's soooooo frustrating. Keep smiling, Gershon
