I am currently thinking about having WLS. I have had diabetes since I was 5 years old and am currently wearing an insulin pump. I have got to the point to where I dont check my glucose level like I should bc I pretty much know when I am low and when I am high. I had my oldest son in 2000 and that is when I was put on the pump. Since then I have gained 80 lbs. The weight just keeps coming and coming. I have asked my DR to give me something and help me out. It just keeps getting worse. I would love to go outside and play baseball with my boys and not get tired and sweaty in a matter of minutes. We stay on the lake a lot during the summer on my family's pontoon and I would love to be able to sit around and not feel ashamed of how I look and what everyone is thinking when they look at me. I am tired of being the fattest person at family get to gethers. My mom lost 125 lbs on her own and looks great but I don't have that will power like she does. I feel like this is my last resort. I'm tired of using food as a support system in life.
