Hi, My name is Emilia.  I am the mother of three children, two are grown and the youngest is 10 years old. I ran across this website and I thought why not give it a shot.  What can I lose? My current weight is close to 400 lbs. My greatest wish is to have weightlost surgery.  My mother was going to finance this surgury until my brother stepped in and made her change her mind.  My surgery date was set and I went thought all the requirement for surgury.  That was two years ago and I still haven't been able to have this surgery.  I have tried everything and no results.  I don't qualify for government insurance because of my income and I can't buy insurance because of my weight. My son deserve so many things and he would settle for just having me around to do things with.  I would love nothing more than to play and have fun with him but my weight doesn't allow me to.  If you can help or have any suggestions, please free feel to email me at myemie@aol.com
