Hello my name is robin. I am so excited about being here. I am scheduled for surgery on the 26th. I am nervous but i know i will have support here when i am done. I was married for 28yrs then my husband decided that he was tired of being married. So i decided to gain more weight and be more miserable. Then i reallized this is my life and i need to take control but it was to late with out some help. It has been about two years of me trying to get this approved but it finally has happened. Any one have any advice or anything i should know. I guess i had better let everyone know i am 52yrs old.

Thanks robin
