I received an email asking why I chose this surgery or what was my "final straw".  The person was supportive but wondering.  So I think I'll explain it....

I hated my weight since last summer I think more then anything.  I seen a picture of me with my horse and on my horse.  MY GOSH, I was a blimp.  I hated shopping, and hated myself.  Then it just got worse.  Believe it or not though I wasn't ever really "obese" until I broke up with an ex, and hated High School.  I gained about 100 pounds in 6 months.  Food was my friend. 

Then, the final straw was June of 2003.  I went to Six Flags in Chicago, IL.  I went with a good friend, her boyfriend, and someone I was trying to date.  Well all was great until I tried getting on a ride.  My pants had been wet from a water ride and I couldn't fit in the seat.  After ALL the people were seated, I had to get up and leave.  I cried and didn't ride anymore rides that day.  So when I got home I started looking up this surgery.  I just decided I want to live my young days happy.  I hate the fact that getting on my horse I need a chair or the poor guy strains to the side.  I had to sell 2 horses to my weight because I was way to big on them...  I'm always open for questions...  Feel free to ask.
