Hi. My name is Jenniffer. I am 33 years old with a 24 year old husband who is disabled. We are living on his Social Security Disability payments which are $626 per month. It just barely pays the bills. I have been overweight all of my life and need help. I have tried every diet, every weight loss solution short of liposuction and serious surgery but have not been able to lose weight. When I was a child, my mother put me on a very strict diet of veggies and water. No sugar of any kind, no carbs except what was natural. I followed it very strictly and gained almost 25 pounds within 2 months. Now, I am extremely overweight. 316 pounds is not normal or healthy for a woman who is only 5ft 3in tall. I have asthma, gout, hypertension, insulin resistance, and depression mostly caused by the weight problem. I am afraid I am going to die before I can have children. I also have problems with fertility. I have a fear of having a heart attack within the next year and that is not cool. I am not asking for anything extravagant like a face lift. I am only asking for someone to help me lose weight with either lap band surgery or a gastric bypass. Either one would work, I hope. If anyone out there could help me with this, I would be forever grateful. I can't work because of my husband being on disability but I would gladly trade my skills ( computer skills, phone skills, appointment setting, typing, etc.) for help. I don't know what else to do. Please, someone help me.
