I'm a 40yr old wife, mom, and grandma. At present I am at my highest weight. I look forward to the day I'm at a healthy weight where I can feel confident that I will be around to see more grandkids. Diets just haven't worked for me for extended periods of time .. I just gain the weight back plus some extra! Because I like to exercise and I like to eat food that is good for me I feel confident that as I see good weightloss results I will have a positive experience with gastric bypass surgery and will be able to live a healthy life. I haven't always been overweight. After two kids and two divorces stress really took a toll on my body. I am married to a wonderful man, we've been together nearly 11 years, and I have a family that is very supportive of me and with all this I have the strength to overcome obesity.
I've read the testimonies and I'm not different from many of you. I hear the same things, "you have such a pretty face" and I'm sure after the surgery and actual weight loss I'm going to hear all the compliments that tell me how fat I used to be. I'm ready for them though. I will just be happy with hearing it.
My family has a history of heart disease, diabetes, hypertension and cancer. I just don't want that to be me. If I should get any of those I want to be able to fight it. I can't fight it if I'm "morbidly obese". My kids, my husband, and my grandbabies are too important to me for me to continue living like this. So... I'm taking your testimonies, before and after photos, and I'm going to have this surgery and be the best I can be.
