I am a 41 year old African American female. I have been overweight for 18 years since the birth of my twins in 1997. I have tried all kinds of diets, exercise programs, and diet pills. Nothing has ever really worked. I would see small results and then no real changes. I also lost my eighteen year old son in 2011 so I have been battling depression. My highest weight is 311 pounds and my goal weight is to be at least 150 pounds. I had an RNY gastric bypass on September 17, 2015. I am hoping to meet new friends to share our journey with weight loss surgery.
