Well...Im 31 years of age and I have struggled with my weight my entire life. I have never been skinny and I dont know what it feels like to be small. This surgury will be an opportunity for me to experience life in a more healthy and happy way. I have a wonderful husband and three fabulous kids (9, 4, 1) that keep me motivated. Along with my faith in God, I have been able keep pressing, especially over this last year, which has been extremely hard. I gave birth to my son last June and hit an all time high with my weight, 300 lbs. From that point on I could feel myself getting more and more depressed as I was unable to drop the weight. I joined a kickboxing class thinking the excercise would help. WRONG!!! I got even more depressed when I realized how hard the class was and how difficult it was for me to throw my 300 lb 5'2" body around in all those kicks and spins. I was embarrased and ashamed. I stuck with the class for 3 months, and one day left the class in tears...I knew I had to do something. My husband and I had discussed the surgury before, but never considered myself a candidate. After I expressed to him how unhappy I was, I told him I wanted to look into the options of surgury. After many consultations together, he supports me and just wants me to be healthy and happy. I never had any health issues, but I dont want any. I want to live a long and prosperous life with the husband and children God blessed me with....
