Charlene, congrats on the surgery date and I wish you all the best. I met Dr. Gibbs at the seminar 12/31 so I guess you were in the room with me. Please keep me posted as to what to expect, I am now in the process of preapproval, etc. May God bless you and your team as you start a new life. Charlotte

Hello, and thank you for reading my bio. (I hope I don't bore you) I'm 51 years old and have been overweight since I reached puberty. I developed rapidly at age 12, and while most girls my age were still flat chested and wearing straightlined shifts (surely, someone out there remembers those dresses), I was wearing a size 34C bra and a sanitary pad. My weight increased gradually until I became a senior in high school. That is when I began my first diet. I lost 15 pounds. It wasn't that difficult since I was cheerleading and getting lots of exercise. After high school, I married my sweetheart of three years. Just my luck, his Mom was the best cook in town. Long story short, we have been married 33 years now, and I still am battling my weight. I now weigh 206 pounds and am only five feet tall. I have two married sons and two vivacious grandchildren. I want to live the rest of my life without medical problems so I can know what it means to enjoy life. I want to see my grandchildren marry. I want to become more productive in my work. I want all the same things you want. I know this surgery, to some, is a quick fix, or considered as instant gratification. So what makes that so wrong? I have struggled for over 30 years to stay committed to a weight loss program and exercise. I even became an aerobic instructor during one of my inbetween times. I owned my own fitness center in the small town I live in. I'm so tired of being dissappointed. It just seems the harder I try, the further back I go. I have come to the conclusion that drastic means takes drastic measures. I am ready!!! I am ready to be thin and healthy. I am ready to have fun.
