I am 26 years old and in nursing school. I have been overweight most of my life though at times, it didn't seem to be that much of a problem. I really gained a lot of weight after high school and am at the heaviest I have ever been right now. I am in a long term relationship with a man who loves me no matter what size I am. He is an outdoorsman and I feel like I let him down because I am not comfortable doing anything these days because of my weight. What bothers me most is that I am letting myself down. I can't hike or bike because I get too winded. I can't camp because sleeping on the ground is so uncomfortable. I don't feel comfortable swimming around a lot of people. I feel like anything that requires energy is just too much to ask of this body. And so... I really want to have this surgery. I feel like if I don't do this then what do I do? I am young! I am going to be a nurse! I want to live a HEALTHY, ACTIVE, HAPPY life!!!
