Hi everybody,  when I started gaining weight I thought like most people I could get it under control.  After my second child was born at age 24 I started what is called the yo,yo dieting.  I was never able to get all the weight off and just went from bad to worse.  There was a time in my early thirties that I got back down into my size5 jeans. (very short time), but never saw that again and had to starve myself to get there and take appetite suppress.  I also started working a grave yard shift at a nearby hospital in 1989 and spent the next 9 years after that eating and sleeping.  I think this was really my down fall. My doctor says I destroyed my metabolism. 

I did exercise through all this for years and still walk 3/4 to 1mile 5 days out of the week not much I know, but its good for my heart.  I am 43 years old now and no matter how hard I try the weight is like a decease it just slowly creeps up.  I have narrowed down my search though thanks to everyone here on OH.  I was looking into the Lap-band , but now I really want the VSG.  I feel it is the best surgery, and I am going to get my financing one day soon I hope.  I am now a grandmother of two, the picture I have on here is with my grandson born a year ago.  I don't have one of me with my granddaughter as good.  She was born this year 6/16.  I want to be able to run, jump and play with them and be healthy granna.

Love you All.....of course theres always more to the story...
