I'm 36, I have been married for 11\2 years, I have two beautiful kids - Todd is 15 & Ashley is 12. We recently bought our 1st home - WE LOVE IT!!! I am up for a major promotion at work in December. Lots of GREAT things going on in my life, still feel like I need to pinch myself! From going to the required seminar my Surgeon gives before she takes a new patient to 5 days pre op took 6 months total! I feel good, I feel prepared to go the distance. I have been overwieght my entire life. I was active in sports until I was about 14. I have have yo- yo'd just like everyone else. I didn't realize just how bad my wieght had gotten until I had to have knee surgery about 2 years ago. My honeymoon in Maui was GREAT but I could do 1\2 if that of all of the things I wanted to do, I had to get off of a rollercoaster at an amusement park I took my trainers from work to, because they couldn't close the harness 
I just barely fit into a booth at a resturaunt and am more embarrassed because my kids worry about it for me. I want to lead an active life, I want to see my children thru the important and special times in there lives, I want to enjoy my life with my wonderful supportive husband! I am 5 days post op and very exited!!!!
