I have been overweight most of my life.  I can remember my brothers teasing me about being overweight and my mother told them it was baby fat.  I weighed 120 at 14 and haven't seen that since. ( I still felt fat even at that weight since I had no waist)  was 160 after my first child at 20 and went up to 230 after my third at 33.  I am currently 51 at 260 lbs and have tried everything to loose weight on my own.  I started with weight loss groups like tops and weight watchers.  I tried Overeaters Anyomous, found some great friends that loved to go and eat lunch with me....lol....I also tried Zenical and have had many unused gym memberships.  Just last year I spent a fortune on a personal trainer that never saw me.  I tried by always failed.  I have taken off the same 20 pounds many times.  I divorced my children's husband when I was in my late 30's and lost weight at that time and got down to 180.  I felt pretty good but I was drinking a lot.  Seems like I had to replace the food with something.  Then I remarried and after 8 years of marriage I am at a very unhealthy 260.  I have sleep apnea and hate haveing to use my cpap machine.  I have high blood pressure, I have high sugar levels but am not on any medication as of yet.  I have had a long history of anxiety which I would not wish on my worst enemy.  
I am praying for a healthy body and that is why I have made this life changing decision to do the WLS.  I pray that I have made a good decision for myself.
