  6. Hi, My name is Kim and I am 37yrs old in Boston, Ma I have been fighting obesity my whole life. I currently weight 301lbs and I am 5'7. I have been back and forth with WLS for many years and never seem to go through with it. I've been trying to rationalize why this is. My husband is very supportive and I want to do it. But why can't I go through with it? Please help!! -Kim

  13. Hi, I am a 37yr old woman that has been wanting surgery for years but everytime I tell my parents they make me chicken out and I can't go through with it.

Any tips or advice?? I'm really in a bind....................A little more about me is that I am married to a guy that supports my decision 100 percent and I have to kids 10 and 7. -Kim
