  2. Seattle slew Welcome! I'm 41 so I understand how you feel. Better late than never. I had a child this time last year and my weight never left. Packed on more actually. Even if your parents may not have your back at least your hubby and kids do. My hubby is my biggest cheerleader. He even did the pre op with so I wouldn't be by myself. He caved yesterday. Lol. I don't blame him. My mom is very supportive and so is my aunt. But other than a few friends that's all that knows and I am fine with that. We are here to support each other.
  3. Welcome! I don't know what area you are in. My Dr is Dr Cadillac at little company of Mary in Evergreen Park. He came highly recommended and the bariatric care is a center of excellence. Him Tony the consult were are awesome. So far my experience has been great. Will let you know any info you like after surgery on Monday.
