Well, this is a first. I have never been on a forum before and have finally taken a step to weight loss. Both are scary. I just turned 60 and need to keep up with the grand daughter. I am really tired of being FAT so the journey begins.

Today was the first visit to the Dr. now on to all the approvals and pre op rituals, it's a wait and see game now. All I can do is follow what has been asked of me and hope for the best.
