Hi all

I am a 38 soon to be 39 year old who cannot wait to start my life over...that is my goal...a new healthy beginning.  I want to be a mom who can keep up with my kids and push myself for new challenges.  I love life and want to love it even more...this body of mine has me trapped inside and I must shed the skin i am in!!  Wish me luck!!

My Story

My story is just like everyone else's.  I have been overweight all of my life.  I love the taste of food.  Food is everywhere and I just can't get enough of it.  I have had no personal traumas or tragedies in my life which caused this..  I honestly can say that I just love food.  Don't you?  I mean can you resist a big piece of birthday cake??  It's too hard for me  .  

I can say that at age 38, I am so tired of being tired.  I hate my body and feel totally trapped inside.  I want OUT!!!!  I have been contemplating this for years now and I feel that I am at a point in my life that I have to do this or I could leave my kids and hubby with no mommy!!  I have become Type II diabetic and have high blood pressure and high triglycerides.  I feel like this is a drastic situation for me and drastic measures are needed.  I dont take this lightly and it is with heavy heart that I concede.   I cannot do this on my own. 

I have been on all types of diets and the weight just comes back with some more to boot!!  I am now at my highest weight ever and feel like it is now or it may be never.  I am nervous and sometimes I ask myself, Is this really the only way out.  For me it is the best descision and I feel like it wont be a mistake.  I have researched my options and have checked into my chosen doctor and have a friend who loves him to death and by the looks of the comments on here...everyone else does too!

I have chosen Roux-en-Y for my surgery.  I am interested in the Duodenal Switch but the possible long term nutritional affects may be too much for me to risk.  I have my appointment in March and I am working on obtaining my pre-op requirements now.  I am excited about th possibilities for a brand new future.  I hope it all goes well and works out.
