THIS WHOLE PROCESS HAS BEEN VERY LONG FOR ME. I DECIDED TO HAVE GASTRIC BYPASS AFTER THE BIRTH OF MY THIRD SON WHO IS NOW 5. SOMEHOW I CAME ACROSS THIS WEB SITE. CALL IT DIVINE INTERVENTION OR WHATEVER, BUT I KNOW FOR CERTAIN, THAT GOD IN HIS GOODNESS AND GRACE BROUGHT ME THIS FAR. I'M A MOTHER TO THREE BOYS. I HAVE BEEN MARRIED AND SEPERATED FOR SOME TIME NOW. THE MARRIAGE LASTING 15 YRS. NOW THAT WE HAVE MOVED ON (THE MARRIAGE) IT WAS TIME FOR ME TO START THINKING ABOUT ME FOR A CHANGE. I WANTED TO FEEL BETTER ABOUT ME AND WHO I KNOW IAM. ALL THOSE YEARS OF BEING OBESE MADE ME A VERY UNHAPPY PERSON. I NEEDED TO CHANGE. I DIDN'T WANT MY TWO REMAINING SONS GROWING UP WITH A DEPRESSED OVERWEIGHT MOTHER. MY OLDEST HAD A HAPPIER MOM. (HE IS NOW OFF ON HIS OWN) I WAS UNDER 200LBS WHEN HE WAS LITTLE BUT, STILL OVERWEIGHT. NOW AT 300 PLUS GIVE OR TAKE A POUND HERE AND THERE IT WAS ABSOLUTLEY CRITICAL TO DO SOMETHING. THANK GOD FOR THE OPPORTUNITY!!! I'M SURE THERE ARE ALOT OF OTHER PEOPLE WHO CAN RELATE TO THE HEARTACHE OF BEING SO OVERWEIGHT THAT SOMEHOW YOU JUST STOP LIVING,MERELY EXSISTING. THAT IS NO WAY TO LIVE, YET, THIS IS HOW I WAS LIVING. GOING THRU THE MOTIONS EVERYDAY. NOT REALLY LIVING THE LIFE GOD INTENDED FOR ME TO LIVE. THIS WAS A BIG DECISION FOR ME,BUT WELL WORTH THE SACRAFICE. NOTHING WILL BE ABLE TO COMPARE TO WALKING INTO A STORE (NOT ASHLEY STEWART) AND BUYING A SMALLER SIZE. I WEAR A SIZE 24 NOW. I HAVE RECEIVED ALOT OF COMMENTS FROM PEOPLE WHO KNOW OF MY PENDING SURGERY WHO SAY," OH THAT IS THE EASY WAY OUT"! THIS ISN'T EASY FOR ME AND I DON'T EXPECT THE ROAD TO BE PAVED WITH THE WORD "EASY" ATTACHED. THIS IS MY DELIVERANCE FROM GOD.
