I am a 36 year old female and single mother of two children. I have always been in good shape until I started having children. I lead such a busy life that I never really have much time to do anything that I really want to do, everything I do is always for someone else! Before I knew it, I turned around and was almost 300 lbs! I forgot about me and it was obvious when I looked in the mirror and tried to do different activities with my kids. I stopped liking who I was, I became depressed! I avoided going to the doctor because I didn't want to know how much I weighed. Now, a year and a half has passed and I decided to do something about my weight when i discovered that I had severe sleep apnea and could possibly die from it. I found that this could be corrected if I just lost weight. I tried losing weight on my own and couldn't do it because of my lifestyle. I then went to a doctor and they mentioned and discussed gastric bypass. After contemplating about it, I knew this was the best and right thing for me. I am now scheduled for surgery in one week. I currently weigh 280lbs and am 5'7, I wear a size 20! Just writing that was hard for me to do because I have to face how fat I am! Surgery date July 14th.
