Smyly:

Your story touched me. I could relate. I am 54 years old, my husband is retired navy and we are self employed in Virginia. we've raised 5 daughters. one is home, she's thelast, age 19.

I have been type two diabetic for 8 years, and my stomach looks like a pin cushion. I'm tired of shots and the oral meds make you swell up so badly. I have arthritis in my ankles and wrists so that hurts alot.

I try and work out but some days i have no energy due to the extra weight i've been carrying around. I have tried it all!!! up and down most of my life. I haven't been under 200 pounds in 15 years!!

I began this process last August 08 and i finally got a surgery date in April.

I have surgery June 17th and will go on a slim fast diet for two weeks prior.

I would love to hear from you.

thanks,

jane in Virginia
