I have been overweight my whole life and have tried every single diet and weight lost regimine on the market and had no success with any of them. I feel that my weight began to soar off the charts when my mother passed away when I was 16 years old and I became severely depressed and noticed myself doing alot of emotional eating. I am the youngest of 5 children in which my mother had me when she was 43 and all of my brothers and sisters were grown so for me to lose my mother really hurt me because I felt so alone and cheated. I am a very determined person so dispite being depressed I opted not to drop out of high school at the time and continued on and graduated with my class in 1996. My father is still living however he and my mother had split up when I was 12 so I was somewhat still hurt from that. In school I was always the Big Girl among my group of friends and I was also the one who was never asked to Junior Prom or Senior Ball. My class reunion came and I did not attend because I was ashamed of my weight. In 2007 I got married and I am very thankful that my husband loves ever curve, wrinkle, and stretch mark on my body.  I have been doing alot of research on WLS and have decided that the gastric bypass surgery is for me. My husband is very supportive and is ok with my decision to go through with this procedure because he wants me to be more active and healthy enough to start a family. My husband and I had been trying to get pregnant with no success and I believe it is because I am too heavy. I have been diagnosed with high blood pressure, type2 diabetes, sleep apnea,PCOS,and osteoarthritis and I want to have this procedure done to get off the meds and be pain and illness free. I am currently in the process of fulfilling my insurance companies requirements for the surgery and expect to be completed by September so "New ME" im on my way!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
