Candy C.
I've always had trouble with my weight as long as I can remember. I really started to get big when I got pregnant with my 1st son. I managed to lose all of the weight that I gained (70 lbs) but gained all the weight back with my 2nd pregnacy with son #2. That was 18yrs ago and I've been struggling up and down ever since. I've tried every diet from Weight Watchers to starving myself and I just couldn't stick with it long enough. There have been emotional times in my life and I turn to food to comfort me. My father (1986) and grandfather (1987) passed away because of heart failure and my mother passed away on Oct 31, 2006 because of (what we think) is her heart couldn't handle the radiation treatment for breast cancer. She had small heart arteries and all this has made me think that life is too short to live with Obesity health issues. I want to be around for my Sons and maybe future grandchildren, plus I want to feel good again. So here I am, on my journey to a better life and health thru Weight Loss Surgery.
