With the exception of a short period during high school, I have been overweight since I was 10. I have fought to keep my weight at 200 since 1992, but in the past year I have lost the battle. I have been diagnosed with fibromyalgia which has made exercising difficult and the medicines have also added to the weight. I have tried just about everything out there minus those you have to pay for meals. Can't stand the thought of eating food that tastes like MREs! This surgery was not an easy decision for me to make, but now that I have I feel very confident about it. I have decided not to tell family and friends back home about the surgery until after it's done. They would just worry about me and there's nothing they could do but pray (which my mother is doing plenty of!). I am looking forward to the future and the healthier me!
