Hello Everyone. I am a 46 year old, single mother of 10 & 8 year old boys. I started this journey the end of March and I am scheduled for surgery August 27th. I'm soooooo excited but I'm also struggling with getting my "required" weight off (20 lbs total). I have until August 14th to get seven more pounds off.....the HORRIBLE part of it was just last week I was only two pounds away! I feeling like I'm failing myself.....once again :-( .....and I DON'T want my surgery cancelled!!!!!!!

43 here and 4months post-op, hopefully by my 44th in Feb 2013 I will be able to get back into my old favorite Little Black Dress. Last time I wore it I was 22yrs old.

I know what you mean...... I still have my fav little black dress in the back of my closet too! ! Hoping to be able to wear it next year

I'm 45 and FABULOUS thanks to my sleeve I can say that with no hesitation and now have all the positive self esteem in the world. .

If you don't mind me asking, how much weight have you lost?

I love all seeing all the shout outs from the 40's gang!

I'll admit that at first turning 40 was kinda depressing, but now 40's is looking pretty awesome ! Spent my 20's having kids, 30's being overweight and depressed and now will be rockin my sleeve at 40.... life doesn't get any better than this! October can't get here quick enough. To those who have had surgery, congratulations... and to the ones getting ready good luck.
