I have been overweight since I was 5 years old. My mom said that I was a normal weight and a month later I had gained a ridiculous amount. Starting at 8 years old we tried things to help reduce my weight to no avail. I was diagnosed with Diabetes in 2003 and have just been meandering through life since then not sure of what I could do for myself. I had thought about WLS in 2004 when I was at my highest weight of 241, but I couldn't afford it and insurance didn't cover it. My weight has been up and down these last 3 years but never less than 200# at 5'1". I have now made the decision to do this for myself so that I can enjoy a healthy long life, and see my future children grow to adults themselves. I have just started my journey, but I plan to track my progress through to the end.
