My weight got out of control about five years ago. The more I tried to lose the more I gained. I'm married and I have two sons who no longer live at home. They are both married now. I have one grandchild and she is my whole world. I can't wait to take her to six flags next year and be able to actually keep up with her. She is 3 now and I don't know how she hasn't kept me in shape because she is very active lol. We are in the process of getting custody of her and I want to be able to be around for a long time to see her grow up. I knew w/o the surgery my chances of doing that were very slim. I really don't have much support from my husband but I do have my sister who lives close to me and I have my new therapist who is 2 years out GBS. I had no idea when I went for my appointment. I was shocked when she told me because I was really worried about the support I'd have. God works in mysterious ways. She led me to the boards. I was scared to death when I first started researching the surgery but I will say today I am at peace with it and I know this is the tool I need to get on the right track.
