My story is not anything unusual or different. I have been on every diet plan and gained and lost a thousand pounds over the last twenty years. I did not have weight issues until I gave birth to three babies. My family is very obese, not morbidly but obese. They have the heart disease and diabetes and sleep apnea, and so on and so forth....I just cannot accept this for me. I have gone through the surgery for health reasons, I WANT TO BE HEALTHY..not sick and yucky the last half of my life. I am 47 years old and want to make the very best of my remaining years, whcih I hope and pray are ALOT of them. I have a wondeful family and they are very supportive of me. I am not going to say they understand cause they don't and my friends sure don't understand. I have had to deal with some crude comments r/t going to this extreme to lose weight but so be it. Its my life and I am doing what i feel is best for me and my body. On surgery day 10/08/07 I weighed in at 216# the most I have ever weighed in my life...
