I have always struggled a little bit with my weight as a child. I go back and look at pictures and i was actually very skinny until I got married and had kids. I used to however think I was always fat. Maybe because I was the biggest in my family and the others are very skinny. I don't know, but now I am 207 and I started doing lipo a long time ago. I want to loose weight so i can enjoy my kids and other activities. Plus, I want to fit in nice clothes! I am so tired of not being able to wear the nice dresses in the store and always having to wear extra large! I am a size 16 and want to drop to at least a size 5.

I am very scared though! I have friends that have done this surgery and are very happy with it. I am still undecided, but I did have my endoscopy and my PCP approved the surgery. Wish me luck! Keep you posted.
