Hi!!
So, here's my story. I am 55, wife, mother of 2, full time worker in health care. I have been overweight for as long as I can remember. I have lost weight for vacations, weddings, and other special events. And I would swear each time I lost weight, I would never put the weight back on. Well, that never happened. I have gotten to a point in my life where it is SO hard to drop the weight. My highest weight ever was 239. When I tipped the scales at 219 several months ago, I knew something had to change. So, 4 months ago, I decided to attend a seminar on weight loss surgery. I am now going through a 6 month pre op evaluation required by my insurance. I want to get as much info prior to having this surgery. I didn't want anyone to know that I was considering surgery, because I know this is MY decision. In fact, I only told my husband bout this yesterday. His initial response was " no, you don't need that". But I started to explain that my weight is affecting my health. In the end, he said it's my decision and he would support me.
I don't have a surgery date, although I guess it will be in mid to late April. I have learned so much from this group, that I wanted to become part of it.
Diane
