I have been overweight-morbidly obese since like 1988, or 2nd grade. I have struggled with losing weight, yo-yo dieting my entire life. Then when I was 33, the day after my 33rd birthday to be exact, I was getting a check up/blood work for my insurance and they decided to put me on blood pressure medicine. As a matter of fact, my bp was so high they thought I'd have a stroke. My mom was 59 before she was put on meds to prolong her life. I lost her in February and the age of 65. At the rate I'm going, I'm scared of dying young too. So, I'm taking action now. I don't want to leave my daughter without a mother. Anyway, I just wanted to introduce myself and wish you tons of luck with the surgery/recovery/life change experience!!
