My life story, where to begin? ....I never had to struggle with weight issues growing up.It wasn't until I met my ex-husband that my weight became as issue. Over the 13 yrs that we were together we were happy, and with happiness,comes comfort,and weight gain. As a mother and a wife, I lost who I was, everything became about my husband and my child. I left my husband in 2001,and at that time lost about 40lbs, since have put it all back on, and then some. I have been single for the most part for a decade,and I am raising my son as well. As stated I have joined every gym in this city,tried swimming at a local pool,water aerobics, and I have also been on Meridia,prescribed by my doctor. I lost my job in a mass lay off, and during that lost my benefits. Meridia at the time was $250/mth, and as a single mom raising my son alone,Meridia was no longer an option. In 2004 I lost my mother to in-operable brain cancer that has spread from breast cancer. I get regular mammograms but I want/need to get healthy. I need this surgery so that I have the chance to watch my son grow into a man and meet my grandchildren someday.
