[i][b] [/b][/i][font=lucida sans unicode,lucida grande,sans-serif][i][b]Deciding that I wanted this surgery wasn't so hard for me. I have been overweight all of my life and trying to lose weight to me was like finding a diamond in the sea!!! All i wanted was to lose the weight, not only for myself, but for my son as well. I know that the journey will not be easy, but i am willing to go the long haul and push thing each and every step of the way!!! When i heard about weight loss surgery, i must admit i didn't think it would be for me, but once i did the research, i knew then this would be my second chance, and knew i had to do it!!! Now i feel in my heart that i have made the best decision and I have not looked back since. Once I have the surgery, I will be able to run and play with my son without getting winded, I will be able to enjoy all of my favorite things I use to do, things like shopping with friends and enjoying family functions. Since I've put on quite a bit of weight I have singled myself away from friends and family, but it sure feels good to know that relief is on the way!! :D[/b][/i][/font]
