My story is I've been battling weight since I was approx. 12.
I'd lose some gain it back plus. Sometimes I'd actually lose all of it but, I always gained back plus some.
The last time was after my 3rd child was born. I had a c-section and it took a long time to heal (prob. had diabetes then) When my daughter was 6 months old I joined a mommy/son Karate class and injured my achilles tendon. After that it just seemed like I had one injury after another. I got depressed, started having health problems too ( type2 diabetes, high blood pressure, high cholesterol) Then came the meds for these problems (6 now).
I've been trying to have this surgery now for 4 1/2 years. I'm finally there and would love after this is done to be able to help others in my situation to speed this process up. Noone should have to suffer needlessly!
