I have not always been overweight - it just crept up on me in my 30's and continued into my 40's. I would add 10 pounds a year then lose 10 then gain 15 - you know my story!
I can lose weight, just cannot keep it off!. In 2002 I was diagnosed with Graves disease and they radiated my thyroid, that is when the weight started piling on. Thank God I have a supportive husband and he believes in the "thick and thin" part of your vows! Darling hubby can drop 10 pounds in a minute! He is a workout freak and in wonderful (buff) shape for a nearly 50 year old man. I still love him like the day we were married!
I have tried every diet on the books - won't list them here, but you know them all! I have recently started pursuing WLS, but insurance will not cover it because my BMI is to low - (tell that to my over stretched jeans!). BMI 37.5 and weight 237. I think the day we got married I was 150... My goal would be to return to that territory.
Because Insurance is a no-go, I began researching Mexico. Thought I wanted lap band but quickly decided against that, and decided VSG was for me. Next I researched almost every Dr in Mexico (at least it feels that way). I decided upon Dr Jaime Ricardo Ramos-Kelly (if you want to know why just send me a message).
I officially will join the loser team on January 6, 2011. Happy New Year to me!
I am a wife, mother (3 boys, 2 girls ages 25-19) and executive at an insurance brokerage. I am 47 years old and want to feel 47 (or younger) again. I love to travel - we go to St. Martin annually to escape the Minnesota winters. I love to shop - but have only been buying shoes for the past 2 years because cloths shopping is depressing to me.
I cannot wait to feel good in shorts again, to love shopping for clothes again and to feel comfortable in my loving husbands arms!
