nursevil
I am a 41 year old(as of this posting) nurse that is over four hundred pounds. I have been overweight as long as I can remember. Because of my weight, the kids that I hung around with gave me a variety of names that hurt me more that the surgery will. After I got my first job, my weight really ballooned up. I gained over two hundred pounds over the last twenty years. I have married and my wife says that I look good to her no matter what I weigh. The reason I want the surgery is because I don't feel comfortable in my own skin. I hurt all of the time and I don't have any energy. Some people I know think that I am rushing into this but, I have been thinking about having this surgery for several years and I finally decided to take the plunge. I want to loose back down to around 205 and I want to try to get of insulin. In the words of my old Scout Master, "If it is to be, It is up to me." Here's hoping for the best.
