I have been overweight all of my life.  I made the best of it as much as I could.  I was either the jolly fat girl or the mean one.  It was hard to laugh at me when others did.  I had few friends and being offered food was the norm in my family.  It was the cure-all.  If you turned it down, something was wrong with you.  I married, the first time, for all the wrong reasons.  All of them had to do with low self-esteem.  I had my first WLS during this time.  I did okay but due to the lack of support and development at the time, I ate all the wrong things because nothing would stay down but ice cream and mashed potatoes.  After about 5-6 years, if that long, I gained back all my weight.  Over the years and after the divorce and other failed relationships, I put on even more weight.  Eventually, I remarried and had children.  I continued to gain weight until I got to the point where I started thinking about having surgery again.  After years of thinking about it, I found out in June of this year that my husband's insurance would pay for it.  Woo hoo!  I started all of the prerequisites that month and had my surgery on 12/27/10.
