Describe your behavioral and emotional battle with weight control before learning about bariatric surgery.
I was born with Mylomeningocele(the most severe form of Spina Bifida). But despite my SB as a child I was ALWAYS thin and very active. I loved to ride my handcycle and go on walks(particularly the March Of Dimes March For Babies). I never was a big eater. So I know my weight issue isn't food related. But by the time I was 25 I was nearly 200 LBS. Being as short as I am and with the inability to move very well to begin with being that heavy was absolutely horrible. My doctors all tried to tell me "it is just the nature of the beast". But being as young as I was I said "Why does it have to be? Why can't we do something about the problem?"

I guess an update is long overdue...

 So the last 3 months have been crazy for me with vacation and dealing with my health issues.  My family and I had a great vacation.  As some of you already know I have been dealing with a pressure sore.  It is slowly healing.  I think the only good thing that came out of getting this sore is meeting Saul.  Ladies he is absolutely amazing.  Definitely an answer to my prayers.  Now we just have to wait and see what God has in store for us.  At this point we are just friends.  Which is perfectly fine by me.  I have been hurt by men too many times so I am going to take it very slow.  The picture above is Saul.  He is 34 and a native to Idaho like me.  He is a medical assistant at the wound center where I am getting treatment for my pressure sore.
