I'm 41 years old with 2 children and two step children. I have three beautiful grandkids. I have fought with my weight my entire life. I am having RNY on March 2, 2009. I am notr only doing this for myself and my health but also for my family as well. I can not wait for the day that I can actually run and play with my grandchildren. This will be one of the reasons I maintain my weight well into the future. At this point in time my 63 year old mother takes care of me not the other way around as it should be. Shortly I will take care of her as well as nyself. I pray this is my future and good luck to you and your future.
