Hi!

My name is Amanda, I am 27 years old, married 4 years, no kids, and I work for an airline. I want to be able to use my benefits to travel the world before I start a family, and at my size its just not comfortable. :ohwell:
I decided 2 years ago that I had had enough with gaining weight and starting making lifestyle changes to get healthier. I had been very sick and missed a lot of work, and decided that if I lost weight and got healthier maybe these problems would go away. Over the course of 2 years I lost 40 lbs and then gained back 10 of it, and havent been able to lose anything more. I've been meeting with my dr and trying all kinds of different things, but so far nothing has worked long term. My dr and I decided it was time to think about surgery, and after many months of debating I have decided (with my dr) that its the best option for me. I have a great support group around me, but when it comes down to working out or changing the way we all eat I feel pretty much alone. Im open to any help or suggestions you might have! :happy:
