<p>How do you put your life into words? It is hard to sit down and write a story of your life when your feelings keep getting in the way. Like everyone else I have been heavy most of my life. I have been diabetic for about 11 years and have 5 year old twins. I have struggled with my weight as of late due to my diabeties. I am very concerned that it will leave me unable to care for my children in the future. I decided one day to have gastric banding surgery. Fast forward several months through insurance red tape and classes.....and here I sit on my couch 4 days post-op and wondering if I have made the right decision. </p>
