I am 31yrs old and have been overweight for about 7 yrs.  I'm a mom and a wife and was tired of being overweight and tired all the time.  I just wanted to live a normal life.  I don't know if this was the solution or not I am starting to wonder.  My biggest reason for doing this was the fact that I would love to be able to go on a roller coaster ride sometime with my daughter. When I first was told by my PCP that I needed surgery I was floored I couldn't believe my life had come to this.  I fought it for about 1 year thinking I could some how loose the weight on my own.  Of course it never happened so after getting heavier and my blood pressure getting worse I figured it was time to have surgery.  I did it on 08/14/2009 and I am now 8 weeks post op. I'm not doing so great and that's why I decided to join a group hoping to make a difference.
