I am a mother of two children (13 & 11) and a wife of 16 years. I have not been under the 200 # mark since before my first preg. I have been as high as 250. I sort of feel selfish about having the surgery. This is money that could be spent somewhere else in the family budget. My biggest worry is that I will have to have surgery to remove the excess skin. This will be considered cosmetic (I think) and insurance will not help with the coverage. I sometimes feel that I should be able to do this on my own. I just can't I have been this heavy for 13 and 1/2 years and it has not come off yet. I have decided that this does not make me a failure. I want it bad enough and I want to be able to say that when I get to my 40's that I will feel better than I did in my 30's. I am 36 years old.
