Looking for a March 24 surgery buddy

[moored 62]

I've been reading a lot of posts about people who are supporting each other as surgery date buddies. I think that's such a great idea and thought I'd try to find one too.

A little about myself:

I'm a 51 year old, mother of 6 (yours, mine & ours family). Have 2 amazing grandchildren and a wonderfully supportive hubby. We live in northern Alberta, Canada. My husband is originally from eastern Oregon so we travel back and forth a lot.

I started my WLS journey in January 2014 and have worked with dieticians, exercise therapist, councillor and doctor. I was approved for surgery in May 2014 and have been patiently waiting for this surgery date. Ok, maybe not patiently! Lol

I'm not expecting a perfect match just someone who might be able to relate to the struggle of balancing this procedure with family and work life.

More about me: lol kinda relevant and can't believe I forgot!

My start weight was 258 and I've lost 18 pounds so far. Have high cholesterol, crazy high blood pressure (both controlled with meds) and arthritis. Cannot wait to feel healthy again and perhaps take less pills everyday ????
