I have been overweight since I was about six years old. I have tried and failed at all types of diet and exercise programs. You know the usual lose 20-25lbs and regain 40-50lbs. I used to tell myself what I heard growing up as a child "it's only baby fat". 
Well the baby grew up and the fat didn't go away. I guess I came to a point in my life where I'm sick of me and sick and tired of being the me that I've become so I began researching Gastric bypass surgery. I talked to my physician about my options and decided to go for it. My decision was also influenced by family members and friends who have successfully gone through the procedure but make no mistake about it, my coming to this decision came through a lot of prayer and soul searching only to realize that I want to be a happier me.
