where do I begin? I have been the chubby, overweight, fat girl pretty much all my life. I have tried numerous diets WW, Atkins, South Beach and also went the pill route with Phen-Phen. I got close to goal once back in my 20's but I slacked off and have just never got back to that place. I'm not sure if its lack of will power lack of motivation or what. There are times i truely feel like I could be addicted to food and how do you beat that?

My PCP has started to recommend gastric bypass surgery and I am going in for another weight management talk in a few weeks. I began talks about surgical options several years ago but I had other health issues (not weight related) that needed to be dealt with along with a terminally ill father.

I hope to gain some insight, ups and downs into the surgical options.
