About 25 years ago I weighed what I then thought was a whooping 250 Lbs. My husband at the time told me he was embarrased to take me out in public with him (at the time we had been together for an agonizing 8 years). Talk about the straw that broke the camel's back. He was also cheating on me. I decided that I was going to have my stomach stapled and lose weight like my friend had done and then I would show him. So I did. I lost 110 lbs. and was having the time of my life. Needless to say, my husband was history. I met a man a few years later and fell for him on first sight. We were married and I got pregnant and had a baby girl. I started eating more and more and today I am heavier than I have ever been. I am now between 296 and 301. And I thought 250 was big. Back then the procedure was fairly new and there was no after follow up and support. Now I am having a revision to DS done (with the help of my Lord) and this time it is for my health and wellbeing. I am still married to the man of my dreams. It has been almost 21 years. He is not embarrased to be seen with me. The moral of this story is to get as much support as you can and follow your Drs. orders. You can never have enough information regarding the do's and don'ts. Only you can take care of yourself. This time (given the chance) I am going to take very good care of me......
