Sandstress51

Hi! I'm Sandra. Sandstress51, if you will. I am 63 years old, 5'4" tall and weigh 255 lbs. I have severe RA and Psoriatic Arthritis as well. I suffer with Fibromyalgia and Migraines. I work 8 to 10 hours a day and live with my husband (who is 8 years younger than me) and my 25 year old daughter. I have vacillated with the idea of WLS for over 5 years, but have always cowered out. The pain in my back (I've had surgery for that) and my knees is just too much for me know. I plan on retiring in 4 to 6 years and want to be able to run, bike-ride, kayak, swim, and so many other things. I don't want to be immobile. So...I've opted for the VSG and will be getting a date in the next two weeks for sometime in September. I'd love to hear some word of encouragement and how you cope with ... yes, sagging skin.
