who is th elongest out member??
I'm 4yrs out and doing better now than I did in my pre-obese years. (elementary-2yrs out of high school were my thin years) I have a former co-worker that is 15+yrs out and is healthier than ever. You've got a long life ahead of you once you're an loser like us!!

Read the letter I posted from my application for WLS on my profile. Methinks you might find a thought or two to relate to.
I was on 8 different meds pre-op - for diabetes, cholesterol, blood pressure, and my thyroid. I now take 2 - my thyroid med, and a "whiff" of the insulin I took pre-op (from @ 150 units/day to 10 units a day, soon to be NONE.) Quality of life? Unreal compared to before. Do I still stand the risk of being splattered by a truck or falling down the stairs and breaking my neck? SURE! But dang... the life I'm living today is WAY better than before!!!
