Well my date is one week away I must say I am a bit scared , but then again Im so ready for it. The WLS is something I have tought about for years now yet I did keep trying to lose my weight all on my own. I did that roller coaster ride up and down for years now. Im so ready to get off that ride and start a new life . My eyes open about 3 years again when my sister in law was the first to become a grandmother. I watched our lil Jordon for a few months having her come into the family was a big wake up calle for me. I have 3 daughter that are adults and I know the day will come when they will make me a grandmother I want so much to be here for that and to enjoy life with my grandchildren someday.
Obesity runs in my family my sisters and brother too have or still over weight my mother was for many years we lost her in 2000. My father was always the one that could gain then take it off if i could have been so lucky.When my mother passed she was a diabetic also had asthma along with many other medical problems. Once i was put on b/p ,high cholesterol and thyroid meds back in 2004 I said ok its time to do something . I lost close to 50lbs that year . Then got back on that upsale of gaining again. Then back down the first part of 2007 and back up again . Thats when i said enough is enough and that path lead me here .
I will up date soon after my surgery I do think it's part mind set so I doing best to be up beat and tell myself this is a new start and get ready for the time of your life Robin. I cant wait to do all kind of thing that I have put off doing for my many years because of my weight. So to my wonderful hubby get ready for the ride of your life babe 
thanks for those who stopped by to read my story,
Robin
