I guess my story is much like others here on this site.  I have always wondered what it would be like to be a thinner person.  I realize that I am never be a size two, but I dream of having a better healthier size that allows me to feel good about myself.  I am 36, and single.  I have tried numerous diets, exercise routines and even considered a hypnotist. I have suffered depression related to my obesity since I was in school.

I have been obese ever since I can remember. I have suffered with chronic back pain, varicose veins in legs, migraines, problems with flat feet and bunions, excess sweating, ankle swelling, shortness of breath upon exertion, decreased exercise tolerance, lack of self esteem, social rejection, loss of job potential, inappropriate coping strategies, anxiety, severe depression due to weight, inability to exercise, depression related to difficulty coping with frequent failures at diet attempts, hypertension, fatigue, chronic bronchitis and social stigmatization.

My wish is to have this surgery and meet some supportive and kind people who know what I am going through.  I can't tell you what a relief it is to find a site that is devoted to people like us!
