I'm 45 years old and live in Northern California (near SF) I have (1) son who is 17 and (1) daughter who is 9; i'm married for the last 18 years and we have 3 doggies. I have sort of been dieting most of my life .... although I did go thru some stages of looking pretty decent! (before kids) I guess things really changed after I had my girl - with the stresses of working and parenting who has time to eat right and or excercise? Now it is much harder to lose. I belong to Kaiser and luckily for me they're main hosiptal for surgeries is in SSF . I have already been approved and currently finishing up a 4 part class on mindful eating. I 'm hoping to have my 30 lbs lost by end of Sept when my class ends. I am new to this website as I only learned of it a couple of weeks ago from my pal who just had lap band in GA. I chatted with several people now and have read alot of stories - I only hope I can have success as I have read on many blogs. My husband supports my decision and I recently told my son - However... he was not that thrilled as he knows about the risks. but.... I think it is time to think of myself and hope I'm one of the lucky ones! I will be really excited when I get a surgery date! talk soon!
