I've been overweight from the time I was around 6 years old. I can remember going on my first diet when I was 11. Between age 11 and now I've been on most every diet you can think of. Generally I lose around 40 lbs, and gain 50. In my last attempt I lost 110 lbs, and so far I've gained back 90 of those lbs. That has just been devastating for me. I don't feel like I have the energy to take it off again, and every time I turn around it seems the scale goes up another 5 lbs. It seems to me that surgery is the only way to stop this yo-yo cycle. I never thought of it as an option before because my insurance didn't cover it, but right now, I'm miserable enough that I will find a way to pay for it. I can't live like this any longer. When I lost the 110 lbs, I got a glimpse of what it would be like to be a "normal" size, which makes it all the harder to be where I am now.....again. I feel like my whole life has become about what I eat and how much I weigh, and I'm so tired of that. The battle is just wearing me down, and I need some help to fight it. I'm hoping this surgery will do that.
