Hey Everyone,
My name is Leah, I am 45 years old. I have been overweight all my life. I have tried weight watchers years ago. Then I started the Mommie thing. Was a stay home Mom, until about the last 5 to 6 years. Am working outside the home now, at a nursing home facility. I am the head cook on day shift. Done the Mommie thing, now ready to do the ME thing. I joined Curves May 5, 2007. I thought there was hope at the end of the tunnel. I enjoy working out 3 days a week. I done the 6 week solution diet. Lost a total of 40 pounds. Then I lost my movitation, starting gaining the weight back. Very disappointed in myself. Got the the point I didn't work out as hard as I should have. I would get up at 3:15am and be to work by 5 am, then off work at 1:30pm and off to curves I would go. Besides weight loss, I also need to quit smoking. I am also diabetic, and don't want to have to get to the point and take insulin shots.
Increaseing gas prices I traded my 4X4 gas guzzling truck off for my dream car, a 2005 Ford Mustang. :) In June 2008, twisted my knee wrong getting in my car, tore my meniscus in my right knee. OUCH! Had Orthoscopic surgery on my knee August 25, 2008. I have already had the same surgery on my left knee in 2006. Time to take better care of myself!! I have heard some about gastric bypass surgery, time to take it to the super-information-highway and do some research. So here I am. Took me awhile but found this site, and it looks very inspirational.
I am off work for another 3 weeks, so what better time to learn about gastric bypass.
