I have always struggled with my weight, but after having three children and turning 30 I really started to gain and have difficulty with managing my eating. In my 20's I was a swim instructor and sometimes was in the water for 8 hours a day. I burned a lot of calories that way and when I stopped doing that and began my career, I gained weight steadily each year. I have tried numerous diet plans and exercising. Now, I have pain when I do exercise and this is very discouraging. Last year, I was in physical therapy and chiropractic care for lower back and nerve pain that went into my hips and legs. I have also had some heart problems with chest wall pain and irregular heart beat. I have a history of high cholesterol and kidney probems. I feel like I need to try something that is going to help me keep a substantial amount of weight off. However, I am very concerned about any risks associated with surgery.
