After 8 long years of every diet you can imagine, I finally decided I really need a change. I am 47 years old and I have 5 kids ages 30, 21, 18, 12 and 8. All I kept thinking about is the fact that I still have some younger children and grandchildren. I want to be there for all of my kids but I knew if I kept this weight on me I wasnt going to be around to much longer. I weighed 289 lbs so close to 300lbs it scared me!!! My mother is diabetic and my brother and my neice and a host of other relatives, plus high blood pressure and everything else under the sun. I didnt want to be that person ( my Mother). I had my surgery on May 3, 2012 and I have lost 37 lbs I feel so much better and I quit smoking its been 3 months. I cant imagine how much easier things will be for the more I lose!! I am so excited and motivated to change my life....
