Not much to say. I live in Florida. I am an MSW student. I am Married and have 3 beautiful teen girls and a baby boy. They all are very happy about my surgery, the rest of the world saying I am crazy for going to Mexico.

How did I decide? Guys it was horrible, I went to Universal Studios in Orlando with my family and I did not fit in the HULK ride. I was so embarrassed silent tears fell out of my eyes. Then they made me wait for a big people seat for about 20 minutes in a special area.

Sometimes, in life it is extreme circumstances that make you have decisions. I have been researching surgery for a long, long time. I never had the $$$$$. But now will get a big $$$ check and will be able to pay it. I have tried so many things to lose weight and like many other nothing was permanent and gained a lot after-wards. I think the only time I was not obese was when I was a child. I am very happy that there are people who care. This is a big step in ones life.

I appreciate you guys putting your stories this really helps.
