march 31 2006 - Well I'm on my way! I've made my decision to have the surgery! I'm 5ft 1in and 254lbs. and diabetic with a family history of heart problems. I'm 30 years old and married to a wonderful man, who will love me no matter what. And I have two kids. Trevor who is going to be 3 in 6 weeks and Rylie my daughter who is 19 months. I need to be healthy for them, to see them grow up, graduate, go to college, get married, and have children of their own. My dad died before I got married and had the kids and that hurts so much, even if I know he is watching us in heaven. I need to do this for me. TO BE HEALTHY!
