I have had weight issues (overweight), depression and self esteem problems essentially my whole life. Add to that family drama, loss and two failed marriages, and I found myself weighing 386 pounds. After years of struggling with my weight and developing obesity related diseases and struggling just to get through my days, I made the decision to have gastric bypass surgery and try to get healthier and save my life. I didn't want to live like that any more. It has been a long almost one yr process, since I was "approved" but I am scheduled for surgery 1-11-2010. I am cautiously optimistic. To get ready for surgery, I have lost 33 pounds and tried to develop some habits that will serve me well after surgery and will try to lose more before my surgery.
