ive been batteling my weight since childhood. i come from a family where everyone is either overweight or obese but however do support me for wanting to do something about it. my weight has limited my opportunities and goals, from riding a roller coaster to just being able to get around in general. i have type 2 diabetes, high blood pressure, arthritis, and am now starting to have issues with shortness of breath. all of this at 34 years old. i considered it before but at the time i was with a man that didnt want me to have the surgery. i went all the way to the psychological eval and chickened out. plus i felt like the dr didnt have good demenor. we have 3 surgeons in the charleston area. it seems like now my barrier is trying to go to a seminar that fits around my work schedule. i work for camc evening shift so it is hard for me to attend all the support groups that is required. this time im lucky to have a wonderful husband that will support me through all this as well as family. im hoping to lose 130 pounds.
