Hi y'all! I'm in the pre-op stage and am looking forward to getting a date! Soon, I hope! Any way, here's my story:
I am a twin (faternal), and as children I was referred to as the "chubby" one! Then as we got older say 10 -11 yrs. old, my sister and I would go to the DQ with our mom and she would tell me I needed to order an orange soda and let my twin order a chocolate shake. What's up with that? I was only 5 lbs heavier, and 1 in. shorter, and as I look back... was not fat! But I always saw myself as fat b/c I was told I was.
Then as a teenager I was normal and was still shorter and fatter than my twin, but I looked GOOD!!! So, I didn't care what my family said. Then after two children, I started to put on weight, I went to Weight Watchers when I was 25 and only weighted 130 lbs! I thought I was FAT! Needless to say, it was up and down from there! Like most of you I've lost a ton of weight! I'm 63 now, and weight 240 lbs. Is that normal? I think not! So, I've made up my mind I'm getting the VSG ASAP! I just want to be comfortable and be able to get my butt out of this recliner and DO something!
That's my story! I will be adding to it as I progress along! I'm looking for friends on here that can identify with me in any way! I'm all about getting and giving support. If only I knew how to post on the message board 
??? If any one know how to get around on this site, please, help me out?
I went to the tutorials and learned some things, but am still unable to get a pic posted. I'll learn... just give me time! 
I've started dieting again! I'm basically doing the W W thing. I've been on it for about a week and have lost 4 Lbs.! I think that's pretty good! I'm being a little more strict with myself this time b/c I want to loose the fat on my liver before surgery.
Thanks so much for being there for me! Judy
