I grew up west of Boston MA, and have had to deal with weight issues all my life. As an avid basketball player (really all sports) I was playing enough to keep my weight under control untill late 20's.....when I started to lose venues where I could play organized ball. Then I began to gain....and with an unrealistic body image (never thought I was that heavy) I let it get out of control and found myself in trouble weight-wise. My 30's were more weight gain, 40's a little bit more....till now, the early 50's, and I feel like I can't get down to a weight where I can successfully exercise and lose weight on my own. Like many others, it's been hard to admit that I can't do this own my own without surgery.....but I looked ahead and I think "will I realistically be able to lose the weight I need to?"
I answered "no"
I don't want go the rest of my life overweight and unhappy.....not to mention the physical pains that comes with extra weight. I am looking at this surgery as a way to get back  into "exercising shape" and I plan on devoting myself to keeping my body in the best shape possible. Many changes await me on the road back to health and happiness.....I can't wait to begin tackling this issue and moving to a better place in my life.
