I am 34 years old, and have been over weight my whole life. I am so ready for this wonderful change. I just had my first meeting and my couciling meeting. I have my first surgeon visit at the end of November. I am on my way! Wish me luck

I love that you are so motivated! you will succeed. CONGRATS!

Thank you so much! It will be a long, hard road ahead of me, but it has to be easier then living in the body I have now!

Yes, nothing we face on a day to day basis compares to what we dealt with then, or would have dealt with if we had continued.

I was facing limited mobility - I could do alot "for my size" but as I got older I could feel it.

Type 2 diabetic - now in remission for 7months (a1c less than 5 each time).

Asthma - not nearly as bad.

Inevitable knee replacement surgery (I had a flesh eating bacteria in my knee about 16 years ago and it ate the middle of my kneecap) - not so inevitable anymore.

So much more, it changes it all, at least a little.
