I am 5 ft tall. Weighed in at 209. My weight battle started 7 years ago after thyroid cancer. My surgery date is Nov 6th in 2 days! I can't believe it is finally here! I am 38 with 2 daughters ages 2 and 4. So i am praying for no complications and a quick recovery. Very nervous but excited. It took me a while to make this choice. I am looking forward to being healthy again.
