My story is like most on here. I was thin until I started having children (after college) and have steadily gained weight since from the time I was 21 yo. I'd tried everything to lose weight. Diets, low carb, wieght watchers, cabbage diet, whatever "new" fad diet to blow into town, etc, etc I am your typical case. I'd lose a little but gain back twice as much! I was ready to give up and accept the fact that I was destined to be heavy the rest of my life after I was told that my insurance covered "Nothing" obesity related!!! I couldn't believe it! That was the primary reason I wanted the insurance in the first place!!! Well hard work, determination and His grace has led me to this moment. 2 weeks post surgery!!! I still cant believe I've done it but oh so glad I did.
