Every day i wonder and day dream of how i would look if i lost enough weight to weigh under 200..even in my teen years i was 210-215..now im 256...not a real big weight gain after 20 years and 2 kids. Does any else think of the same thing?

Don't be afraid. I am. 66 years old and weighed 275. My diabetes was out of control. I was on 150 units of insulin. Now 5 1/2 months later, I am down 66 lbs and only take 30 units of insulin. Have also been able to drop 4 medications. This is a life or death opportunity. And I chose life. I am very lucky.

If you have any questions just PM me and I will be glad to answer them.

My weight gain started with puberty, and I remember weighing exactly 200 in weight class in my senior year of high school. I'm now a couple pounds below 300 at 26 yrs old (hopefully I never see that 3!) so I have no idea at all what I'll look like after surgery.

I just expect to be more wrinkely (I'm 54) and have terrible sagging skin. I have never been pretty anyway so I will be a real mess- and I dont care. I have never been thin and I dont know if thats even possible for me- and I dont care. I just have to get this weight off.

Dont ever put yourself down..every woman is beautiful in their own ways....:-)
