my story is probably going to sound like a lot of other stories....but here goes....
i'm 43 years old, 5 ft. 7 and weigh 275 lbs. I have struggled with my weight for such a long time. I haven't tucked in my shirt since I was in High School. I despise how I look naked and also how I look in my bathing suit on the beach. I much prefer winter where I can hide under a baggy sweater. I have grown more comfortable with my weight as I got older but I am still self-conscious about it, just not as bad as when I was younger. I have a lot of health issues: Hypothyroid, Hypertension, Diabetes. I also had a TIA (mini-stroke) when I was 36 years old. I have tried just about every diet out there. I have had two children, both C-sections and put on more weight and kept it with each pregnancy. I have a 14 year old and a 4 year old and would like to be healthy for both my sake and for the benefit of my whole family. . I would like to be more active in life without my knees hurting, or my hip bothering me or just plain old being out of breath. I need this WLS to help me get the parts of my life back that are missing... this is going to be my new start.. I am so looking forward to my surgery and I feel it is going to change my life..........
