Well I finally decided to get on and post my story. I am married with an amazing husband. We have been married for 14 wonderful years. I know there is a God because he send me my husband. I have two beautiful girls ages 13 and 10 who bring great joy to my life daily. (Sometimes alot of worry as well any mother can relate). I have been heavy since I can remember. I have battled this weight issure since I can remember, after I had my girls my body changed and so I packed on more weight. Some from my pregnancies, some from medication and some from just eating too much. But here I am now morbidly obese. I decided to have surgery because I am tired of yo yoiing and not getting anywhere. I want to live for my girls and be able to help them. I can't motivate them if I can't motivate myself. I feel this will give me the tool and help I need. I know some great people that have been so succesful and if they can do it so can I.
