hi. my name is barbara. i've been big all my life. some people on this site has been thin and got big. i don't know what thin feels like i've never been thin. i'm married and going through a rough patch because of the weight. i've tried dieting, exercising and starving myself. nothing seems to work. the most weight i've lost is about 30 lbs and i gained it back. i've been teased and bullied. my decision to have weight loss surgery is because i'm borderline diabetic and blood pressure can't be controlled. i was on my way to buy some stuff and i walked two blocks slowly and by the time i got to where i was going i was out of like i was running. that clenched it for me i had to do something.i was looking into gastric bypass but because i'm anemic it's a little too risky for me. i also looked into the band but i don't think it would be too effective so i've been researching and have settled on the sleeve instead. it's a little more effective than the band and a little less risky than gastric bypass.
