Hello Everyone, I am new here although I have read the board for awhile. I weigh about 300 lbs and have struggled with my weight fovever. I have lost and gained 100 lbs at least three times and believe me - I am tired of carrying all this weight. My knees are feeling it and I think I am finally ready to do something about it. I did consider WLS but after reading about the complications that people experience, I knew that it was just not for me. So, here I am and I look forward to getting to know everyone. Your stories have inspired me! Caroline
