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.
