perk4756 259 Posted May 21, 2015 (edited) Sleevedmel2015, I am same weight and height. My surgery is in August. Don't have exact date yet. Have my end June 5th. Have finished everything else so should have a tentative date soon. I am 48 yes old, mother of 3, Nana to 4. I've had 5 back surgeries and have very bad back. That's how I gained all this extra weight. But on a new outlook of exercise and better eating habits. Edited May 21, 2015 by perk4756 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
