Hi, My name is Sheila (sh24). I am 51 and have been thinking about Bariatric surgery for about a year now. I am excited that I have my 2 1/2 hour orientation class in two days. I still have yet to complete the 18 page questionnaire (better get on that soon). Right now I am at 340 pounds and hope to get to 180 or at the point that I feel substantially more healthy. I have health issues as a result of the excess weight including insulin dependent diabetes. I have read through many websites and feel I am going into this with my eyes wide open. I only just occurred to me that maybe there was a support group through facebook where I already spend a lot of time. I am looking forward to this site and what more I can learn and the support I can receive.
