My story is just as similar as everyone else's on this forum. I have been overweight since I was about 8 years old.
I am 45 years old, single, my kids are 25 & 19 and now it is finally ME time. I looked into this surgery about 2 years ago and never really did anything about it until someone I know had this surgery and then I started asking questions and found out someone else I know had the surgery. That was my final decision to start the process also the fact that my doctor has been monitoring my blood pressure as it has been higher, the inevitable fact of having the onset of diabetes and that I can't walk around the block without my knees & hips hurting.
So...I am 2 months away of my 'New Lifestyle' and very excited!
