I am a 30-years-old, I currently weigh 265 pounds and my BMI is 44. I have been battling with my weight throughout my entire adult life. I’ve tried diet and exercise. I’ve tried diet pills (both prescription and non-prescription). I’ve tried hypnosis. Despite all of my attempts, nothing has worked.

So far, despite my morbid obesity, I have been lucky to have not contracted any major illness like diabetes, high cholesterol, high blood pressure, heart disease or stroke. But I know that it is only a matter of time before it happens.

Aside from being morbidly obese, I am an independent, professional woman with a great job. I am also a single mother to a very active 7-year-old boy. I am the only parent my son has. He plays baseball, basketball and he loves to ride his bicycle. Many times, I’ll be outside playing with him and I have to come inside because I have a hard time breathing and because my back starts to hurt. I know both of those things are caused by my weight.
