I am a 30 year old mom of two and have been married almost 13 years.  I have been over weight since I can remember.  I think I really started to gain weight around the age of 12.  It took me a long time to make this decission but now that I have I am really excited.  I am a social worker and I work with teenage mothers teaching them parenting skills.  My mother had an open bypass about 20 years ago and has done really well.  My Step mother had a lap bypass done a year ago and is down 95 pounds.  All I know is that I want to get up in the morning and not have my feet hurt.  I want to run and play soccer with my four year old and I want my nine year old not to have a "fat" mom anymore.  My husband is really supportive and has even defended me to friends that think I should not have it done.  I am getting close and have completed everything including the six months of MD supervised weight loss.  All that has to be done now is seeing the nutritionist.  I am hoping everything will fall into place now.
