I have been overweight for the past 30 years, most years I have gained more weight back after trying some diet or other. In 2007 I lost 30 lbs then in 2008 I gained 45! This made me hit my all time high and made me start thinking about WLS. I am 53 years old and it's not just the looking good that's important to me it's the FEELING good. I have arthritis in my knees and my legs ache and swell when I am on my feet, which I have to be a lot because I am a nurse in a Urology Office. I don't like hurting and not being able to walk. Not to mention people are starting to ask me "why are you breathing so hard?" This is during normal walking. I want to live many more years and I want to be able to be physically active and do things with my family. I hope to have grandchildren one day and I want to be able to do things with them. Reading the profiles and posts and seeing the pictures on this site is so exciting! I hope to some day soon be amoung the losing!
