Why now…..why this surgery???

This is a story probably about the same as yours. Girl has fought obesity all her life…girl loses weight only to gain it all back…girl tries many different diets; none of them help for life…girl gets older and it’s now even harder to keep weight off. And no matter how little or how much I do or don’t eat…I’m not getting any thinner. So here I am 45 yrs young and soooooo very tired of being over 300lbs.

My name is Sherry and I’m about to venture on a new chapter in my life. One that I know will help turn this topsy turvy over-weight life around. Will it be easy….probably not so much. I am, after all, a food addict. Will it help…I believe so….otherwise I wouldn’t put myself through this.

Why now?? Because life is awesome! I just celebrated 5 yrs of marital bliss with the most amazing man ever. He’s my soul-mate, my best friend, and he makes life just all around wonderful. I have 3 terrific kids that are growing up and about out on their own. They are my little best friends and my love for them is deeper then any ocean. I owe myself and my family a joyful life…but my weight hinders me. BIG TIME (pun intended). I’m a HUGE Disneyland fanatic and I can’t fit on half the rides. Heck, I can’t even walk around the park anymore without getting cranky because of being so tired. We live in a state where sunshine abounds….but I hate being out in it because fat in the sun= lots and lots of sweating. I should be out enjoying this wonderful life that God has given me….but well…you know the answer. So now is THE time.
Why this surgery??? It’s a slow weight loss process which means to me, a more realistic life style. Not to mention it’s less invasive. RNY just sounded too risky to me. But that’s me.

So there you have it. This perpetually over weight woman is now moving on. I’m sooooo OVER this fat suit. Bring on the skinny chick!!!
