Ahhhh, my story is all too common.  Very heavy my entire life.  Tried every diet going - and I mean every one!  I lost a large amount of weight a number of times, but it all came back - and it brought friends!  My entire life I have heard, "You would be so beautiful if...".  Obviously I have huge bagage there - but I"m working on it (with professional help, thank-you very much!)     I am married to my best friend and the man I believe is the most wonderful guy on the planet - no, really; if he's not number 1, then for sure he is in the top 100!  OK, at least he's number one to me.  The down side is that he is a professional athlete.  Seriously, there isn't an ounce of fat on his body.   Honestly, it is truely a miracle that I manage to love him.    So, to the list of demons that I live with, I must add the fact that women will fawn all over my husband in front of me.  I have even had a couple of them ask, with me standing right there, why he is with me!  Grrrrrrrr  But it doesn't matter because my husband fell in love with me when I was plump and he still loves me today.  He is supportive of this surgery because I want it so badly.  However he, and my mother, are terrified, and both would prefer me not to go through with it.  But in the end, it is my decision.  My weight issues have plagued me my entire life.  To the point that when I am really honest, I would say that my weight has defined me all my lifel  Currently I am relatively healthy.  Today all my co-morbidities are emotional, but as I continue to lose the wieght battle, I realize that this will not always be the case.  After years of struggle, and over a year of research, I have come to a point where I am ready to have wls to fix the physical problem.  So here I go, on a journey to beat the demon once and for all.  I need to do this 4Me4Good!
