A New Lease on Life

Feb 06, 2013

I'm so excited/nervous/happy/scared/overjoyed/overwhelmed and any other emotion that can be thrown in. I've been overweight for most of my life. I have tried so many diets and pills and exercise and my body just rebels and keeps adding pounds.  My back and my knees are done and I'm tired all the time. I'm grateful for this new lease on life I'm being offered. We don't always get a chance for a 'do-over'. My grandchildren want to play and I can't get down on the floor, with them, to do so. I want to soak in a tub, but it is sooooooooooooo far down and I don't think I could get myself up. I'm 54 years old and I would like to spend the next 30 years, or so, in a healthy state. Being overweight means I'm invisible until someone needs something. No one wants to be seen with the fat lady. I have a couple of close, dear friends, that don't see me as anything but a good person, but I'd like the rest of the world to see me, as well. I want to be an example to others. Most of all, I want to be all that I can be and I cannot do that at 314 lbs. Thank you to the doctors, nurses, researchers, etc that have made this possible.
