I am a 34 year old woman who has battled with weight my whole life.  I was always heavy growing up, always self conscious about myself.  I was always 40-50lbs overwight, but nothing like I am now. I was always able to lose a little weight on my own 10-20lbs, enough to make me feel a little better.   I have always rode horses, showed them from the age of 7 until I got married in 1999. My husband loved horses too, so we have ridden alot together.  When I was 25 or 26 I began gaining weight very quickly and easily.  I found out I had Polysistic Ovarian Diesase.  The weight would not come off.  I managed to lose 45 lbs on WW but it just stopped.  I was finding that I could not ride horses like I have always done before.  I think that this is the hardest part for me of being obese, other than the looks and not wanting anyone to see me.  I had a consult with my surgeon yesterday ( 7-21-08).  I have researched for 5 mths, before I made the app.  I first was interested in the DS, but he told me that my insurance would not pay.  So he and I decided on the RNY.   I am now waiting the 6 mths, trying to get all my paperwork, and dr visits done.  So I am hoping to talk to alot of people who have had this.  If any one wants I would love to talk to you.
