I'm 33 years old and happily married.  I have been considering weight loss surgery since 2001.  When I first considered it my insurance at the time did not cover it.  It kind of got put on the back burner and with my health becoming worse over the past year I have vowed to make a change and take control of my life.  My main goal is to become healthier.  For me it isn't all about the weight loss.  The weight loss will be a plus.  My main focus is to get healthier.  To be able to lead an active life and be able to live normally.  I've been on oxygen for the past year since my first attack of Pancreatitis in March of 2010.  My pulmonologist said that my lung functions will greatly improved with continued weight loss.  So one day hopefully soon I won't need O2 anymore.  I try to remain positive about things even though life has thrown me a couple of curve balls the past year.  My second goal is to be able to start a family with my husband.  We've been trying unsuccessfully for the past 3+ years but with my excess weight and PCOS (Poly Cystic Ovarian Syndrome) we have had no luck.  My husband and I are both on the journey of having weight loss surgery.
