I'm a 56 y/o single mother of 2 girls, 13y/o and 11y/o. I had a lap rny on 9/12/08. My pre-op weigh-in was 242 lbs and as of today 10/15/08 I am 215 lbs. Improving my health so that I can be around to see my daughters grow has been my main motivator. I have high blood pressure, type 2 diabetes, high cholesterol, sleep apnea, and severe osteo arthritis of my left hip which, I'm told, requires a total hip replacement. I saw my cardiologist and primary care doctor last week and I'm happy to say that my diabetes medication was cut in half and my cholesterol medication was discontinued.
