Moncton, NB gal looking for long life!

Hi I am Chrissy and I am coming up on my 47th birthday, and to be honest for the last 21 years I have been happy being fat, but all that changed last year in May. I had a heart attack and it changed my world. For the first time I wanted to live. Really live. I have an 11 year old daughter to see grow up.

I have been above 300 lbs, and last year I went to Simply for Life and had a weight lose of 30 lbs before I fell off the wagon. It was the first time I attempted a diet in my adulthood. So here I am 272 lbs, with a BMI of 42% with diabetes, high blood pressure, acid reflux, bad knees, sleep apnea and asthma!

I had my first appointment with Dr. Sylvain Beausoleil in Moncton, NB last week after being on a waiting list since 2002. I can't believe my life is going to change. I am waiting for my day long session to see if I am ready for the lap band procedure. All I can remember about going to the hospital to see him is the fact that I smiled through the whole appointment and felt like I was taking the first step in a whole new long life!

I am looking forward to hearing from everyone, so please send me positive vibes and courage! :wink2:
