[|AI|]  Overweight is a deep understatement.  You are morbidly obese by medical standards, and need to quickly and thoroughly educate yourself about correct diet, and resolve to take this excess weight off.  My guess is that if you had the capability to get to a normal weight the rest of these problems would disappear.  Best wishes in this endeavor, but do it as though your life depends on it, because it does.  The fact that you had a nice recovery means to me that you have not wrecked your body irreversibly and that you have the capability for a normal lifespan once you get the excess girth off.
