I've been overweight my whole life. I went on my first diet when I was 7 years old and have been struggling ever since. I've been researching WLS for 3 years now and I have decided that this surgery is the only option that I have to live a healthy, long life. I've tried it all and am an excellent dieter, I just can't keep it off. After 3 children, I am at my all time heaviest of 255 pounds. I hurt all over, my knees are giving out and I have GERD. I know that it is just a matter of time before I have more significant problems. I want to be there for my children and my husband. I want to run and play with my boys. I want to really live my life and not just watch it go by from the sidelines. I am making this decision with my eyes wide open. I know the risks, but I also know the risks of staying this way or losing and regaining over and over again. I am scared and excited all at the same time. The few family members that I have told are very supportive. I can't wait to be on the other side and know that it was all worth it.
