I am 45 years old, married and the mother of three. I have one son 15 years old and twin girls that are 6...I know "what was I thinking"! I am truly blessed with my family and love being a wife and a mom.
My battle with my weight has gone on for years. I have always lost the weight, but have regained every bit of it and more. When I was considering the surgery, I had to fill out a questionaire for the doctor's office on which diets I had been on. I have been on about 80% of the "diets" that are out there. I know how to lose the weight, just can't seem to have long term success. The decision to have this surgery was a difficult one. I had to open up to my husband and explain to him my inner thoughts and insecurities - which was the hardest thing to do. He listened openly and has been supportive, although concerned.
I am ready for to take this next step on a journey to change how I have been doing things, so I can be around another 40 years!
