My weight is at 202 right now. I am 5'1" and 35 years young! I have 2boys. When I got pregnant with my oldest I was 19 and gained 87 pounds. My starting weight was 120ish. I maintained 165 for 8 years after. I got pregnant with my 2nd boys and gained 84 pounds. Held my weight at 185 for another 8 years. Knowing I am heavy I avoid scales at all cost. To my surprise I gained more weight. I stared looking into this and gastric sleeve. I am gathering all my info at this point. YouTube diaries r becoming my new best friend as far as information. Please let me know ur story! Right now at the moment I know no one who has done this. If I do I am not aware of it. My fear is that I will be alone with my decision. I have support from my husband but he isn't battling my mental demons with weight. Thanks in advance for your story or advice. My location is in the Philadelphia pa area.

I think your nuts. I am 5'1. 202 lbs at aBMI of 38. I thought I was nuts for contemplating the surgery. I don't feel as heavy as I look..I have a father who is 65 and weighs closer to 400lbs. He has heart disease, diabetics, psoriasis, neuropathy and sleep apnea. He is afraid do do anything bc he lost 2 friend to complications with gastric bypass. I don't want to be where he is nor do I want to have complications to surgery.
