What's wrong with being obese?

I know, it's pretty hard to read here, but my surgeon emailed this to me. I thought I understood my health issues and  their causes until I saw this. These would be considered "Co-morbidities of obesity" and I have a shocking amount of them. I have a migraine headache about once every two weeks. WLS resolves migraine headaches about 57% of the time. Dyslipidemia Hypercholesterolemia is *I think* Gall Bladder disease. My Gall Bladder is FULL of mostly large (and I mean large enough that the CT scan technician noted that they were the biggest he had ever seen) stones. Losing weight rapidly creates more gall stones, so I am pretty much assured a Gall Bladder removal soon. Non-alcoholic Fatty Liver Disease I have to a large extent. My liver is actually palpable below my last few ribs and it actually hurts often. The 37% resolution of inflammation surprises me. I know that losing weight cures it for me, so I believe that will no longer be an issue. "Quality of Life"... well, that's pretty subjective! It says WLS improves the quality of life in patients 95% of the time. DUH! I believe it! Depression  is 55% resolved (thank God!), Obstructive Sleep Apnea - no matter how much I deny it, I have to have this to some extent. My poor husband says there are nights when I snore like a buzz saw. It will be 74%-98% resolved. My miserable asthma and coughing will be 82% improved! Cardiovascular disease is what became the final straw for me. I have had a few scary heart incidents that scared me BADLY. It's time to take care of this 48 year old heart. Hypertension... well, you tell me. Normal blood pressure is about 120/60. Mine is usually 184/110+. I am a walking stroke waiting to happen. I am on serious BP meds and it's still not totally controlled. When I am a more normal weight, my blood pressure is LOW. 52%-92% resolved? I think for me more like almost 100%. GERD (acid reflux). If you have this, you know exactly how miserable it is. It's painful and can cause cancer of the esophagus. It's very serious, on top of hurting. 72%-98% resolved. YES! Stress Urinary Incontinence is one of those really humiliating things. Luckily, I only seem to have issues with this if I am really sick and coughing tons for more than a day or two, but when it happens, it's awful! WLS resolves this 44%-88%. No Depends for me! 

THE BIGGEST thing - MORTALITY. Being obese kills many people in the USA every single day. When I have this WLS I am reducing my 5-year mortality by 89%. I just became a Grandmother for the first time in May of 2012 and I intend to see her get married and have children. The rest of the co-morbidities listed I don't have, thankfully. I know many people do. I have plenty of them though and the amount was growing month by month. My life starts anew on July 23rd, 2012. The Vertical Sleeve Gastrectomy will literally SAVE MY LIFE.
