I am 39 years young and have been overweight 98% of my life.  I was thin for a very short time after I finished the nutri system program back in 1988 but soon began gaining and after I got married gained more, child 1, gained more, child 2 gained more.  Do you see the pattern!!!! Thank God I only had 2.  I love them dearly, they are my life, D.J. is 14 and Darcie is 12 and I couldn't imagine life without them.  I am on my second marriage and my husband is the best, he is sweet, loving and would do anything for anyone. 
As you can see in my blog I have been fighting to have this surgery for 3 years and the end is finally near.  I have a number of health problems: High Blood Pressure, High Cholesterol, Thyroid problems, Type II Diabetic, Sleep Apnea, Gout and what ever else you can think of that my weight has to do with.  I had surgery in July to have my Gall Bladder removed, boy that was a crappy surgery, I thought I would be up and around the next day, WRONG.  It took about a week before I was feeling myself again.  This journey has been wild and I'm glad to start phase II of this ride. 
My kids are also very thrilled to have a mom that has energy and can keep up with them.  My daughter was in tears when she found out that this would practically cure the diabetes.  I can't wait for Oct 20th to get here so I can be on the losing side.
