Thanks for your words!I haven't told many people that I'm interested because in the past the support hasn't really been there. I mean, if I do it My friends and family WILL support but they keep saying.."You don't need it..." Even the woman at the information meeting said that! Lol...But I'm 260...my BMI is 42 and I've been a big girl all my life. I managed to lose 50 pounds on my own and maintained it give or take 10 pounds, for 3 years...But I can't seem to get past that. My friend had the surgery a year ago and has lost lots! So...all that said...Thanks for the support!
