I was perfectly fine until I retired from the military then I ate whatever I wanted whenever I wanted.  I had a long grace period before my actions caught up with me.  I gained almost 90 lbs and somehow didn't really notice that I was now 256 lbs.  I was fine with the way I looked but my health was going down the tubes.  I lost my father when he was only 55 so I was certain I was on the same path.  Until a doctor said, why not get weight loss surgery...that was something I thought was for big people (still didn't realize how big I was!).  After the second time he suggested it, I looked into it.  After extensive research about its efficacy, I decided it was for me.
