Hello. My story is that I have been overweight most of my life. Starting in middle school and going right on thru til now. (11 years after graduating) I decided on bariatric surgery after having to go thru physical therapy for my knees and back. I do not want to have to do that again. I started my wls journey at 296 pounds and have lost ten of the pre-op pounds so far. I need to lose at least 5 more. I already had done this, but gained back most of it and had to start over. :(
I have three wonderful kids, who I would love to be able to play with more, and a great husband. When I told him I was looking into the wls, one of the first things he asked me was why I wanted to do this, he wanted to make sure I wasn't doing it for him. :D But I am doing this for me. So I can be healthy and happy all at the same time. :D
