Oh my gosh! I am crying too! Your post really touched me. I also feel like my life is amazing in almost every way but my health. I have no obesity related diseases yet but I know that my weight is an obstacle to true happiness. I have been fighting it for 30 years and I am so tired of it. Like you proper diet and exercise is not enough for me to lose weight. I have come to believe the only answer is WLS and I can't wait! I also have a very supportive husband and great kids. I know that going through this journey will bring our family closer together and make us even stronger.

Congratulations on all your success. Here's to more health and happiness in the new year!
