wow,i have regained so much wt. this past year. I am feeling so lost and defeated.i injured my back at work, and have frequent flare ups.  i know what i should do, but can't seem to do it.  It is such a long road back. and this time I have no doctor and no support grup.

I used to think my problems with wt. began when i had my children until my mother told me I was worried and dieting in my preteens.  I have yo-yo'd my weight since 1978.  My doc has wanted me to have the surgery in 1999, but I resisted and then spent many years researching.  My wt is now at 300lbs and I am 5'8.5". wearing a LOOSE SIZE 30.  I have done all the typical diet with some success, but more failures.
 
I am now divorced, longer now than when I was married...... I have 2 grown  daughters 29 and 27 yrs old; 2 grandson's 7,2. . I  went back to college after my divorce and became a registered nurse.

I had the RNY on Sept.4,2007.  I was in the hospital for 22days. Yes, I would do the surgery and the complications all over again to feel as good as I feel today.
