VERY NEW HERE

May 22, 2007

OK here goes.  I am usually a very private person and have a lot of difficulty talking with people.  However everyone here seems so very nice and I am getting desperate.  I have been overweight since I got married and attempting to get pregnant.  The highest weight I thought I would ever get to was 250 #'s when I got married to my second husband in 1999.  It has been a difficult 7 years but nothing like the last year.  Through a series of events, my husband went to jail in May 2006.  Since then my health has deteriorated.  I have put on about 100 #'s, developed diabetes, and osteoarthritis in my back.  I know this all goes hand in hand with each other.  My stress level is significant.  I have had to fight for custody for my 2 step children who have lived with us fulltime since 1999 when their biological mother walked out on them.  Before he went to jail I was working a great job and making plenty of money to support us.  Now I can't even work.  I can't even hardly walk and feel that I have nothing to offer anyone.  I know how badly I need this surgery, but I am also very afraid to have it.  It's the old stuck between a rock and a hard place. Anybody else been here?
