I have been struggling with my weight since I was about 20.  After my first son was born (22 years old) it got worse.  I was  18 years old and113 lbs when I married my husband.  Ever since that time I have been a yo-yo dieter.  I am now the heaviest I have ever been.  I am 230 lbs.  I have been on just about every diet out there.  I have graduated from Weight Watchers twice.  I have graduated from Nurti-System 3 times.  My last attempt was Jenny Craig and I ended up heavier that I started.  This is not due to any failure on Jenny Craig.  I just am addicted to food.  I have a terrible sweet tooth.  Sugar is not my friend but I have an extremely unhealthy relationship with it.  I have also tried it seems like a million other diets in between. 

I have about three comorbids, so I need I have to do something now.  I really want to be around to see my grandchildren grow up.  I have so much fun with them.  I plan on doing anything to get healthy.  I also am planning on getting some counseling to help me with this sugar addiction.  I know this surgery is a tool and not an easy way out. 

I am so blessed with  my family and friends.  They are so supportive of this decision that I have made.
