My name is Susan and I am 54 years young. I have 4 boys, 6 grandkids and 1 on the way. I got married to my high school sweetheart Richard in November of 2007 after we reconnected on Classmates.com. I have been heavy all of my adult life. When I was young, I was so thin that my dad's pet name for me was "skinny". But that soon changed when I had my boys. Amazing what kids can do to the waistline. Then I was a letter carrier and walked 6 hrs a day and lost some of the weight. But after I got injured on the job I gained a LOT of weight. I was unable to walk and exercise. To this day, I use a cane. Every year the weight just piled on. I have tried all kinds of diets over the years with no success. I always gained the weight back and more. I have decided to have lap band because I really didn't want to have the major stomach cuting. My husband says he will stand by me and support me all the way. He just wants me healthy. SO DO I. Now is MY time !!!!
