I have been overweight for all my adult and teenage life.  I've been able to lose some weight with diet/exercise/medication but it always came back.  I had three beautiful children within 4 years and that has taken an even greater toll on my body.  I'm at my highest weight ever and with the fact that I had gestational diabetes, plus family history, I know where I am headed if I don't do something.

My grandmother had gastric bypass 5 years ago and has had great results.  Several family friends have also had the procedure.  I don't want to live the rest of my adult life overweight and with the health problems that are sure to come.  I also want to live a much more active lifestyle and eat the proper foods to model good behaviors for my young children.
