I have been overweight the majority of my life. I have been over 200 lbs since I gave birth to my first child. I gained weight with each addition which consists of three more children. I am now prediabetic and have high blood pressure. I am a grandmother of one and twins on the way, I need to become healthy to live long and enjoy my family. My husband is supportive of my surgery and we are looking forward to the changes in our life.
