ARGH - I have been overweight and now obese for most of my life. I have tried every diet with no success as I am sure all who read these posts have as well. So, now I am in research mode for WLS. Have not made any final decisions yet as to where or when so that is my next step. I have been in contact with a few WL centers checking them out. My insurance will cover WLS but I have not found a center/hospital/surgeon in my area that I am comfortable with, i.e. the cost as well as the care. I am keepin' on though.
So a bit more about me - I am a single woman, older than most I am sure. I have the most trouble cooking for one so I went through a BUNCH of good sounding recipes and cut them down to 1 or 2 servings - I was tired of either eating it all or throwing it out as I do not have freezer space for a lot of leftovers. I love to cook though. I also am an avid reader, quilter, camper.
I have 3 grandchildren that I want to LIVE for and be able to be active with them. After I have WLS and lose a bunch of weight (hoping it will be ALL of my excess weight) I hope that my grandchildren will not be able to remember when grandma couldn't play with them as it is now.
If any have insight to share, it will be welcomed.
