Hi everyone!

I have been lurking around many WLS sites for months, this is my first time posting.

I'm having the Roux n Y bypass on March 12th. I can't believe how close it is! I'm getting nervous, but I'm far more excited than I am nervous.

A little about me...I'm 37 single mom of a 12yr old boy and 2yr old girl. I have struggled with my weight pretty much since I can remember. However it has really spiraled out of control these last 10 years. I'm 5'2 and a 1/2 (lol) and 270lbs.

I'm looking forward to a much more active lifestyle, I have a long list of "first's" to complete. Most importantly I want to be a better example to my children, as well as be able to physically enjoy time with them outdoors etc..

My date is the 5th. I am also 5'2" and a half as well. That 1/2 inch really is important!! Lol . I weighed 234 at my last appointment in January. I stay off the scale at home so I don't know what I way now.

Good luck!!

Congrats!! It's funny, I said to the nurse after she took my height and said 5'2" and a 1/2. I said "I like to say 5'3" lol. She said "nope! Your 5'2" and a half".

Good luck with your surgery! I'm sure you'll do great
