Well, let's start with my current life. I am 33 years old, happily married (12 years was 285 then) with no children of our own. We have our hands full with our 4 nieces and nephew. I have been obese since my early teens and have gained quite a bit over the last 12 years since getting married. I am pushing 475 right now this is the biggest I have ever been. (I thought I was 375) I have always been very active and really love sports. I just can not keep up anymore. My goals are to be active again and stay healthy. I would so love to be able to fit in a seat at Fenway Park again! (That would be a bonus) I very proud of the small changes I have made already in preparing for my surgery. I used to drink about 2-4 liters of Pepsi a day! Not only have I stopped for about 3 months now, I have no real desire for it anymore......I can't even finish a can anymore if I wanted to. I have been in and out of the Dr's office for tests and a physical with no problem.......before all this my last physical was about 20 years ago! With my size I hated to go to a Dr. So, I am convinced that nothing is going to stop me anymore! I hope to have my surgery in Aug 07! I would love any help you all can give me .........I love the before and after pics!
