Hi, My name is Susan. I am married with two small children. I am a RN and work full time. I started my WLS journey two years ago when i moved to the USA from Canada. My heaviest wght was 322lbs!!!! I am scheduled for surgery second week in july 2008. I am excited to have hope set before me. I started struggling with my weight since i was 14yrs old when my mom started to get quite sick and spent months in the hospital. Although i wasn't obese until my early 20's, when i tipped the scales at 230lbs and stayed there until my mom passed away 4 1/2 yrs ago, where my wght peaked at 322lbs. I am 34 yrs old and feel like 55. I am so thankful that this opportunity is here for me and feel truly blessed.
