I really do not know what to say here or where to start. 
I guess I can give a little run down on my life. When I was 7 they called me string bean because I was a very skinny kid. I stayed that way until I hit puberty, which was about 10-11. When I was 17, I started dating my husband, I was 199 pounds. 3 days before my 18th birthday I gave birth to my first son who is now 15. After giving birth I started the birth control Norplant in which I gained 75 pounds. I had that for 2 years. I started having problems in which I had the Norplant taken out. 4 years later I gave birth to my 2 youngest son at that time I weighed about 250 pounds. I was 21. About 2 years later I gave birth to my youngest son and was weighing about 270. At age 27 I had a partial hysterectomy and gained a bunch of weight. In October 2003 I weighed 384. I was 16 pounds shy of being 400 pounds. I attempted for try for the gastric bypass then but insurance rejected me. I was hurt and angry and sad and depressed for several weeks. Then one day I decided I was going to try my own diet. I ate instant mashed potatoes for months and drank nothing but water with crystal light packets. I ate off a kids plate and exercised every other day. I eventually lost 126 pounds. I was feeling better about myself. Then one day in September 2005, I tore my ACL and had to have surgery to clean out the bone and tissue fragments and was down for a couple of months and started regaining the weight I had lost due to not being about to exercise. I have gained about 60 pounds back and am very unhappy and unhealthy. I started my journey for the gastric bypass again in July of 2007 and am scheduled for surgery November 7th, 2007. I am so scared and so excited. I can not wait.
