Where do i begin, i've always been heavy, i was a fat kid. I remember weighing 70 lbs. in second grade and 120lbs. in 7th grade. I was over 200 lbs. when i graduated high school. I didn't think much of my weight at the time i guess because it didn't stop me from doing whatever i wanted to do. I got married at 19. Had my daughter when I was 25. I remember weighing 302 lbs. right before i gave birth. I got myself down to 245 lbs. by the time my daughter was 5 months old. I divorced after 18 yrs. of marriage. Went back to work in retail management. I still felt ok with my weight, however, eventually as i was getting older so were aches and pains that i definately took notice to. I talked to my mother about WLS, she was concerned and asked me to make it my last resort. So i trudged away on diet upon diet only to gain what little weight i lost back and then some. It has taken me over 2 yrs. to make this decision. I did research on it, went to seminars, i really wanted to educate myself well. My mom died 2 years ago. Mom, this is my last resort.
