I am a 47 year old single parent of 3 kids, 23, 18,and 15.  I have not been overweight all my life.  My weight problems started after the birth of my 3rd child and divorce which all happened within 1 year. I lived away from my family and didnt have many friends and the demands of 3 childeren under 9 so I guess i sought out food as my friend. I have been on numerous diets but was never able to maintain the weight loss. Now I find myself at 241 which is my highest weight ever and a host of health problems to go with it.  I am on medication for high cholesterol, a cpap machine for sleep apnea and I am prediabletic. My gynecologist has also told me my bladder has started to drop a little and this was being caused by the weight.  I used to be able to carry the weight with no problems but now that I am getting old that is no longer the case. My poor heart must be crying from the load I am putting on it. I know surgery is not a cure all and that I will stil have to work to accomplish my goals but I realize that I NEED HELP.
