Well, I have been overweight for years now.  Going up and down.  Trying every diet in the world it seems like.  I had heard about the bariatric surgery a few years ago and though "I would never"  I can do it on my own how hard can it be?  BOY was I in for a big surprise.  I couldn't do it on my own.  The years of self loathing and trying were awful.  The c-pap came, then the metformin, then the asthma....I am only 33 for pete's sake!  I am a single mom and thought if I was going to make it...to live the life I wanted, then I needed to get healthy!  That is when I decided to attend my first meeting.  I haven't looked back since.  It was hard work, but worth it.  I have met some of the most amazing people through this journey...I am SO happy to have found my second family!  I can do it!  You are never alone!!
