I just turned 33 years old and decided it's time to change. I don't think I can live with back pain for the rest of my life, I have been looking into the different WLS. I am really leaning towards ds.
I have been big since I was 14, I have been on a diet roller coaster ever since. I have tried everything! Pills, drops, going to meetings and even thru my Church. I am really worried If I don't do something soon I am going to end up with diabetes or cancer. I am a very active person and always on the go.
I have 2 kids that I would love to be able to do more with. I see it affecting them already. They just want to hang out in the house instead of being normal kids and playing outside. They are both healthy with no weight issues, but it's my job has a parent to teach them how to be healthy. I don't even know where to begin anymore, I have given up on diets! I don't want to try another one just to fail again. I have a very supportive husband and sister. Without them I don't know where I would be. Thinking about wls and reading all of the post's on the forums, gives me HOPE in my life, for the first time in a long time.
I coach basketball for both of my kids teams and I can just imagine what people are thinking when they see this obese person teaching there kids basketball. I would love to be healthy enough to join the rec league and play on a women's team. So that is one of my goals. I would love to get up every morning and not have back pain!
Someone once told me to do "the next right thing" and this wls feels right!
