I have been overweight forever! Maybe not by much since I am more on the muscular side. I work out and walk on my treadmill. The lightest I remember being was 98 lbs when I was in 9th grade. I got an infection that caused rapid weight loss. I was down for the count for 3 months. I went from 140 lbs to 98 and was very weak. After taking meds and vitamins I got better. I was never able to maintain a weight less than 160 lbs. I had two children when I was in my 20's. Since my pregnancies, my weight just keeps increasing. I have tried weight watchers and many other diets including many many diet pills. They worked in the short term, but eventually gained the weight back plus much more. I currenly have a BMI of 35 and have many health issues. I am hoping to have the surgery by November of this year. I have a consultation with my surgeon in August. I will be 41 this summer and fear if I don't have the surgery that the many health risks in my family will catch up with me. I want to be healthy and happy and enjoy doing things. Right now I am not happy with the way I look and I am tired of sick and tired all the time.
