I am 35 years old. I am 5ft 3 in and weigh 330 lbs. I am a proud mother of two girls and a boy (10,9,5). I have been married to my best friend for 16 years. I have been obese since i was a teenager. After so many attempts of trying to loose weight on my own, I recently made the decision to have the WLS (weight loss surgery). My sister told me about the WLS a couple of years ago, but i didn't want to do anything drastic. My decision to have the WLS was based on the fact that i didn't want to die. I am beginning to develop depression and low self-esteem. It's hard looking in the mirror at me. I want to feel good and look good. I am hoping that the WLS will be able to help me get off of blood pressure and fluid retention medication. I am excited and scared all at the same time about having the surgery, but i know that the outcome will be phenomenol. One of my friends asked me why do i make fat jokes about myself, i told her that the fat jokes keeps me from hurting. I have always been an outgoing person, but the depression is hard to overcome. I am totally ready for this next chapter in my life.
