I am 29 years old, have been overweight almost 7 years now. I am sick of being overweight. I wished that someone would help me.... I have two children, and would like to be able to see them grow up, but won't unless I get help.... Everyone says that if you put your mind to it, that you can lose weight on your own, but I see it as this, sometimes some people just need help.... I feel like I would be a great canidate for the surgery, because I have tried and tried so many diets, that they did not work... I am just sick of faliure....
