I am 41 years old, and have everything in life except happiness with my appearance.  I have struggled with weight since my teens, and have been obese for the past 15 years.  I have not been able to lose more than 30-40 pounds during these years, and just give up and gain it back.  I used to be an athlete in high school and college, and really miss being able to play sports like tennis and volleyball.  I love to eat, and have always eaten large portions of food.  I want to be able to be satisfied with less food, and to be able to play sports/exercise without hurting myself due to my size.  I also want to have more fun with my husband, daughter and dog.  I have a great family, who is extremely excited and supportive about my surgery.  I am looking forward to the surgery on November 19th with Dr. Mary Estakhri in Pleasanton, CA, and hopes that it provides me the tool I need to keep a greater amount of weight off for the long haul.
