My name is Melissa.  I live in vale, nc.  I have a wonderful husband of almost 6yrs.  I have 3 beautiful boys.  I am also 24yrs old.  I weigh 280lbs.  I have always been big.  I have never been able to say that I was thin.   I have been thinking about having gastric bypass surgery for the last three months.  I want to be healthy for myself and for my family.  I don't have any medical problems other than back pain and pain in the knees and in the feet.  My blood pressure has been high in the past but considering that I have not had it checked in almost a year I don't what it is now.  Tomrrow I am going to my first visit with my family doctor.  I am going to talk with him about having gastric bypass.  I am tired of being over weight.  I am tired of doing the diets and gaining the weight back and more.  I just want to live a long life and with out having the surgery I don't see that.  My dad has so many health problems associated with being over weight that it scares me.  He has four heart attacks and he is only 45yrs old today.  I have to get my health togeather.
