Hello, I grew up alway's weighing about 10lbs. over weight. When I was 21 I got pregnant for my son, who is now 16years old. I gained alot of weight. I was 135 at the beginning. I went to 205lbs. when I delivered and when I left the hospital I weighed 165lbs. My son was born on my mother's birthday and died 2 week's later. I lost myself and went down hill from there. Food became my friend, so I thought. This was in 1990. I'm to the point now where I have no life, and chose to eat myself to death. Then 3 month's ago,God sent me an angel. She shared a secret with me, and told me about her Roux en y. I was so excited to know there was hope for me. You see, I don't want to die. I don't deserve to die, even though sometimes I felt like I wish I could., but GOD has sent his angel to help me get my life back. As I right this tears flow down my cheek. My son needs me. Why should I be so selfish and think I have nothing to live for. Thank GOD. For looking out for me once again, And thank you to my special friend,who will never really understand how greatful I am. Your an Angel.
