I have struggled with my weight all my life.  I was 11.5 pounds when I was born.  Doctors couldn't believe what a big baby I was.  I can't remember a time in my life when I wasn't overweight. 

As I have aged the health related problems have shown up.  High blood pressure, high cholesterol, and joint problems.  I have probably tried every diet out there.  I manage to lose a few pounds, but have never had any sucess keeping weight off.  Usually I end up gaining back more pounds than what I lost!!!!

In some ways I feel like a failure seeking weight loss surgery, because in my mind I know I need to eat less calories and exercise.  Make complete sense to me.  However, in my real world, I feel like my body sabatoges me.  Constantly feel hungry, knees and back hurt too much for exercise, too tired etc.  I feel like if I only had enugh willpower I could conquer this beast, but after 33 years, I have to look at this realisticlly and finally say what I have done in the past 33 years isn't working. 

I hope with the tool of weight loss surgery and the support of my friends and family I will finally be able to walk up flights of stairs, fit in an airplane seat and reduce the number of health issues I currently have due to being overweight,.
