New Hartford, NY at St. Luke's. How about you? I need some new clothes, bur I refuse until after the surgery......I can't wait to start a healthy life!!!!!

You look great! We are our own worst critics. Keep up the great work!!

Hi Anniemay! I'm stuck in cold...windy upstate NY near Utica! When the doc told me that I was good to start....I quit smoking then and there. I finally have hope and something to reach for! I so want to do normal stuff with my girls....and just be healthy!

Hi ladies! I started to gain like crazy after my second pregnancy I've tried so many different diet plans and lost the same 10-20 # over and over. I've been thinking about WLS for almost 3 years, but had lots of reasons why it was not a good idea. Finally this winter my two girls went skiing with their Dad while I got to sit like a lump in the lodge for 5 hours.....big, sad sigh. At 47....the time has come to end this! I want to feel good, be healthy and do things with my girls before its too late. I am blessed to have my husband's insurance so it was easy to meet their criteria. So far, my surgery is scheduled for May 20th. I still have to meet with psych and the Nut. I can't wait!!!! :-)

Max206, are you still around? I'm there too? Did you end up having the sleeve? I finally have a date but was wondering who you went to?

Wow....I don't want to have to "shrink" but it does help with BMI :-) good luck. I finally meet my surgeon next Wed....I can't wait!!!!

I'm just starting the process, but I'm 5' 4 1/2" and currently weight 255#. My highest was 260#. I wear 24W bottoms and 2-3 X tops. Ughh.....sigh... I dream of shopping in the misses section.:-)
