Hi all! I am 56 years old, wife, mother (of 2 college-age kids), dental office manager, Episcopal deacon, and sick of my weight.
 
I've struggled my whole life long. Lots of dieting, lots of weight loss and then weight gain. The frustrating thing is that every time I lose weight it finds me again, AND it brings friends with it! So I was only 15 pounds overweight the first time I went on a diet when I was 15 years old. Now I'm 150 pounds overweight!
 
I had VSG on June 2, 2015 at Oregon Health Sciences University (OHSU) in Portland, Oregon after having completed the 3-month medically-supervised diet required by my insurance company lost 17lbs in the process!
 
I find I am telling way more people about this than I thought I would - mostly because I am a raging extrovert and would truly appreciate their love, support, and prayers. I found BariatricPal using Google and I've been reading and reading and reading and learning so much from all of you and your posts. Thank you for sharing your journeys - it really helps!
