Hi Everyone! I don’t have a surgery date yet but have consultation visits both tomorrow and Wednesday with two local surgeons. I’m 48 and I’ve spent the majority of my life yo-yo-ing up and down the scale, weighing as little as 92lbs and as high as 230+ (I’m 5’2”). I was fairly stable in my late 30’s early 40’s at around 130lbs but a surprise baby at 42 turned everything upside-down. I gained 90lbs while pregnant and have struggled for the past 6 years to lose the weight but it always comes right back (plus more).
My health is suffering - I take a lot of medications now and feel horrible 90% of the time. I’m afraid that I won’t live to see my daughter grow up and it tears me up inside. I can’t live like this anymore and I am fully committed and ready to make drastic changes.
I am so glad that I found this site! I’ve been reading all of your inspirational stories and posts for quite some time now and they have helped me immensely. I am very happy to be part of this group!
