I am 45 years old and have been married for 26 years. I have always been slightly overweight and when i had my first child i gained 48 lbs and got pregnant with baby #2 while nursing baby #1 so my girls are 13 months apart. I never lost weight from 1st and then i had 2 more. By the time i had baby #3 I was the heaviest i ever was at 190#. My baby is now 21 and i weigh 235# and have been dieting and playing the weight loss game ever since. I have a brand new grandson and i want to be around to see him and my other grandchildren grow up. I have been fighting high blood preswsure, high cholestrol, high liver enzymes, sleep apnea and other medical problems for the last several years. I am spending much more money on medicine than i feel someone my age should be doing. After much consideration and my doctors encouragement i decided the surgery was the best option. I am one week away from my date and i am definitely experiencing alot of emotions.
