I am 47 yrs old and I am 270 lbs. I have been over weight since I was 13 yrs old. I lost weight twice in my life with a Dr. who gave out pills. After a few months I was so sick I had to stop taking them. By the time I was 36 I was 286 lbs and needed surgery. I had a complete hysterecotomy. 4 months later I became diabetic. I have tried many things to get the weight off and I would lose 10, 15 or even 25 lbs but it would not last. I have maintained this weight for many years. I have three kids 36, 23, 18. I have been married for 20 years and I am very blessed. The reason I am seeking WLS is so that I can have more years to enjoy my husband who is my best friend, kids, mom, dad, brother etc.. family and friends. I had a wake up call Jan 7th 2008, My uncle passed away from diabetes at age 61. It was a shock to me. My dad also has diabetes and he had a heart attach at age 50 I'm almost there...This surgery is going to give me a longer and healther life.
