I am 31 years old, married with 2 children. I have been a large person since my High school days, which are about 15 years ago. After I graduated from High school, I was wearing a size 16-18. I started gaining lots of weight after I had my first child in 1997, I never lost the weight that I gained, and I just kept gaining more and more weight. Then I had my daughter in 2000, at that time I think I was weighing 300 pounds. Again I never lost the weight that I gained, I started gaining. I finally started doing all different kinds of diets that you can name, I lost 60ish pounds and kept it off for about 6 months. Then I started gaining the weight right back and of course lots of pounds more than I lost. I decided to do some research on Gastric Bypass surgery and decided to consult my Physician; my insurance approved me for everything, now I'm waiting for my surgery date. I need to do this for myself and also my children, I want to be around to see my grandchildren if god is willing.
