I am the mother of 4 beautiful children (17,14, 6, and 3)...a full time job within itself.  I have a small salon in my hometown..doing what I love.  I am married for 7  years now to my high school sweetheart 12 years later after a first husband.  Everything is pretty good except the weight has really brought me down.  I was diagnosed with sarcoidosis of the lungs in 2006...it is a autoimmune disease.  I was put on steroids for 1 1/2 years and gained 30 pounds on top of my already heavy 275 pound body.  I have been heavy my whole life....since I was 8 yrs old.  I was teased, could not play sports, everything in my life has been difficult because of my weight.  Now I am getting more and more fatigued doing small everyday hings.  I will not live to raise my children if I do not do something.  Have my first appointment aug 24th, 2009.  Hoping my labwork comes out ok to have it done.  My husband is not supportive at all and has even threatened to divorce me if I have it done, but I am following through with it anyway...not just for myself, but my children...pray for the best.
