I got married at the age of 16 and  by  18 a mother of 2. So  out the door went my 110 lb 4'10 frame  hello 168lbs and climbing.  I struggled and even starved.  The only  time  I could lose weight is if  i was really stressed out ( my first divorce).  I  have tried  everything to lose weight.  I even was on Phen-Fen, weight watchers (2x) grapefruit diet, Atkins, fat smasher, fat belly, and  others..  During my last pregnancy I became diabetic.   In between then and now  I  have suffered from  seasonal allergies  which causes asthma attacks. I  had spent  1 week a year in the hospital up until last year.  With all the predisone in my system I kept ballooning.  I  even went back on the  weight lost pills but once i stopped here came the fat monster. My health is going down hill.   I am  34 years old and i feel like  I am in my mid fifties. I recently graduated college to show my kids no matter what you can do it.  But  now  I have to show them how to live health.  I felt  lost at first  being diagnosed  with Metabolic Stress Syndrome, Diabetes, High Blood Pressure , and High Cholesterol.  Each day became a struggle taking  up to 120 units of insulin a day and  7 pills.   I prayed to God and  looked for the answer. I have gotten a lot of  negatives about surgery.  Everyone thinks its about  vanity but its not.  My liver is fatty and I have no energy. The good part is a I have a very supported family and  best friend.  I want this surgery to give me my life back.
