I am a 49 year old, wife and step-mother.  I am happy to have made this decision of WLS.   I have been overweight for most of my life.  I have successfully lost weight, only to gain it back plus more.  Thankfully I have a very supportive and loving husband that loves me no matter what I weigh.  He just doesn't like to see me struggle with everyday things.  I am too young to feel and act the way I do.  I have lots of life to live yet and I want to live in a much healthier body.  Hopefully that will happen for me soon.
