This is kind of cool. I took the quiz and, according to my calculations, I'll be living until the age of 96.

Here's an excerpt taken from the following website:

http://www.demko.com/deathcalculator.htm

"Your chances of living 100 years are "90 to 1". The odds get better with each new scientific discovery. One million boomers are expected to reach 100 years of age. Will you achieve membership in this prestigous "one-in-a-million" club? Don't sit and wonder. Find out ... right now."

well, if it wasn't for that last question, I'd be imortal. That -2 for each occurance of depression, obesity, and diabetis, well, knocked 20 points right off.

So, put me down for 99. Which, given my family history, isn't that far fetched. My grandmother is 94, my grandfather died when he was 96, and several of his brothers and sisters lived longer than that.

mine was 72, but I think the numbers are skewed.

"04. Grandparent lived to 85-plus? Add 2 for each long-lived grandparent."

My grandmother hasn't reached 85 yet... she's not even 80 yet! I wonder if great-grandparents count? Both of my great-grandparents on my maternal grandmother's side lived to 85-plus. Hmmm....

Just the obesity and diabetes (both parents) took off 8 years.

And, I need another daughter!

Glad I'm not the only one! I was doing OK on the quiz, then I started counting the relatives on both hands. . . almost needed my feet too. Result? 65.5. That's four-and-a-half more years than my father had -- but it just seems too damn close!

...guess I'm doomed to 102....my grandpa actually was IN the hospital when he broke his leg jumping over the end of the bed chasing the nurse....really....

Oh! that is too funny! No philandering in my family, none to speak of anyway. But when my Grandma was about 82, my uncle couldn't find her anywhere, so he drove out to Aunt Lilly's place and there he found her all right. My Grandma and Aunt Lilly (she was about 90) were busily re-roofing Aunt Lilly's house, by themselves.

I'm supposedly gonna' live to the ripe ole' age of 96, except I don't want to live past 95.

Thats the age that my grandma lost her marbles- she couldn't tell the difference between a toothbrush and a tennis racket.

I figure I'll live as long as I believe I will. So I'm not going to look and get a number in my head that will jinx me! *laughs*

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!

      Hi everyone! I’m brand new here. I just went through all my pre-op requirements per my insurance company and now everything has been submitted and I’m just waiting for final approval and my surgery date. I’ve been doing research, watching YouTube videos, TikTok’s, ect.. trying to prepare my mind and what to expect so I’ll be ready for the surgery. I was so sure and so set and so ready and excited. However, now that I’ve done everything & it’s almost here, I am sooooooo scared! I know why I want it bc I’ve tried everything and I just don’t feel like I can lose weight by myself. I’m tired of being overweight my entire life. I’m miserable, but I keep psyching myself out afraid of GERD bc I know how that can be and I don’t want to have to get a bypass after already gaining the courage to even get VSG. I’m scared of complications like I’mgoing to regret doing it and be depressed that I didn’t just be more disciplined and try again to lose the weight on my own even sitting here typing this knowing in my mind i just can’t and don’t possess the discipline. I’m also afraid I won’t be able to handle the restrictions of the sleeve. What do I eat? I don’t know how to eat healthy really and don’t enjoy healthy food. I don’t know how to do this! I feel so defeated!Someone tell me they felt anything similar to this or am I not ready? I thought I was. I am so tired of being sick and tired and so tired of myself and so tired of being stuck and stuck in this body and somebody different on the outside from what I feel inside. I just want to ball up and cry.

        Am feeling this right now. My surgery date is 4/1. Sign the consent tomorrow. I feel like I overloaded myself with too much info, too many opinions. Got to the point where I was wondering if I should do this. Then I thought of my reasons for taking this step and that settled my nerves. Still get moments of doubt but am striving forward. Am just going to follow my book from the surgeon. Joined this because I was told by my dietician that I should do this for support
