My story is similar to a lot of others I'm sure. I wasn't fat growing up, just always at the top of my weight range. Then as I entered my late teens the weight issues started. I went on my first serious diet to get ready to be in two weddings when I was about 20 or so and have been yo-yo dieting ever since. I had gotten to 224 and lost over 55 lbs on WW in 2001 and then of course regained it, plus 40 more! I thought about having the surgery about 2 yrs before actually doing it. It took being diagnosed with hypertension in Dec. 2004 at the age of 41 to really start the ball moving again. I tried WW one more time, lasted 3 weeks, and then after a 3 month thought process, started the ball rolling in April.
