I am 5'9, 230 lbs.  I have 3 y/o and 11 month old.  I weigh more now than when I had my son last Sept!!!!!
  When I met my husband 8 years ago, I was fit, active and full of engery weighing in at only 126lbs. 
  Now, 2 childern later &100lbs later, I am sluggish, and down.  I feel like I tricked my husband into loving me, than I got fat! :(    He is very supportive in anything I do, so this pressure is completely self- inflicted. 
I am very happy in life.  I love my family, I love my job, I love my home my dogs, everything expect the way I look.  I HATE to shop for clothes now days.  I only get mad when I go to the store and they don't fit. 
  I hope this sugery will help me stop the non-stop yo-yo that I have been on for over 8 years and put an end to my habit of "Food".  I cannot wait.  I am nervous and scared, but each time I read someones personal story, I get very excited thinking of possiblities to be thin and feel good again!!!!!  I love my childern and I cannot wait to do things with this and feel good about it rather than worrying if my shirt flipped up a little and someone saw my fat roll.  I hate taking trips for work because I feel like I cannot fit in the airplane seat comfortably, I hate seeing this ring that has developed around my waist.  I actually like to work out, but I love food.  It's all about the diet and I cannot control that.  I can jog 4 miles 3 days a week and still see no results. Looking forward to results and just feeling young, rather than old and frumpy!!!!!!!!  My date is 9/7/2011!!!! I cannot wait for my new start.
