I am a 31 year old mother of 2 girls ages 12 & 8. and the wife of a great guy. I have my surgery set up for May 8. I have always been over weight and it has put alot of restrictions on my life. I gave the surgery a thought back in 99 after my second daughter, but i decided not to, for my husband loved me for me and not my size. Since then i am now taken several medicaitons for all the problems i have due to my weight. I have tried to diet, i was a member of tops and curves, i did lose 53 lbs. in about 6-7 months, but when i feel off the wagon, it kept rolling with no chance of return. I decided that i am tired of being over weight, i want to feel good, i am tired of alway being tired. I want to enjoy the play ground with my kids, be alble to walk with them and not feel like i am going to pass out. i want to still be alive when there are mothers and have there own families.
