I have been heavy as long as I can remember!
One of my most vivid memories in elementary school was hearing my classmates talk about how pretty I would be if only I would loose some weight! Pretty harsh lesson for a 9 yr old to learn!!!
As I grew older, my weight grew higher. After numerous diets, exercise programs, and pills I've finally come to this. I've pretty much made up my mind I'm having the surgery - I just don't know which one or who will be performing it.
I have a 5 yr old daughter and a 24 yr old Step son. I want to see her grown and my grandchildren. My mother was obese, and had several comorbidities. She never felt good and hardly left the house. She hardly ever went to school functions and died of heart disease when I was 16. I don't want my daughter to be cheated out of a mother like I was.
My husband says he is in support of this; but I have my doubts. I'm following the advise of others on here and trying to keep him engaged. I do have a cousin and co-worker who have been through this and are very supportive.
Wish me luck
