Helen S.
Hi! My name is Helen! I'm a wife and mom of 4 grown children. I can't believe I just turned 60 because I am young at heart and time just goes to fast! I've been a yoyo dieter all my life but even so, I have consistently gained weight to the point that I am now heavier than I have ever been. BMI is 38. About a year and a half ago I was diagnosed with sleep apnea. I have to wear a cpap to bed at night and for awhile I even had to wear oxygen (we lived in Colorado, high altitude, at the time but have now moved to Texas where there is plenty of oxygen in the air :) .... I thought that would be enough to motivate me to finally lose this weight, but no. So I am at the point of desperation. My mom has diabetes among other health problems and I see myself following right in her foot steps. I am approved for weight loss surgery, either the band, the sleeve, or the bypass. I'm now in the process of all the testing and trying to decide which one is best for me. I've been googling everything and discovered this board. It has been very very helpful reading about others experiences.
So my journery is jus beginning! I'm ready for a healthier me!!!!
