I have been overweight most of my life. I guess I did not become morbidly obese until High School. When all the kids my age were dating and having fun, I buried my head in the books. It served me well, went to college, graduated and got a well paying job. Yet, when it came to self confidence, self worth and all the other self "isms" out there, I was as low as you could get. In college, I was bulmic and anorexic, yes, you can be both; looking back at the pictures, I was thin, but pale. Anyway, I am now 32 and tired of being tired, lazy, unsocial and miserable.
I had my surgery at the end of April 2007 and I am down 60lbs in 2.5 months. It has been great so far. I am one of the lucky/unlucky ones in that I can eat sugar without any negative ramifications. The down side is that I can have sugar and carbs and I really need to watch or I can forget to eat the protein and chow on the Carbs.
