I am 53 and ready to start living the life Ive wanted for so long. I love my husband and my Big family but the kids are grown and I want to enjoy the rest of my life. I want to do so many things without being held back by my weight. I have always loved dancing, but after gaining 80lbs with my first child in 1980 I never felt confident enough to enjoy it. So now I may not be young in years but I am young at heart. So I want to get my health back and quit sitting on this sofa. I want to do all the things that I have allowed myself to miss out on. I lost my father last year due to complications from diabetes. I wish so much that he had tried to take better care of himself sooner, we all miss him so much. I dont want my children, grandchildren to lose me sooner than they have to. So here I am ready to make new friends who understand all the fears and questions that I might have. So feel free to contact me.... I am going to my Orientation at Kaiser Richmond, Ca. on 9/27. Im hoping to have my surgery befor Christmas. I will also be looking for a support group in my area so if anyone has any suggestions? I guess if not now, when.............Time to start this Journey!
