Lanbanan1967
I have been heavy all my life. My highest weight was 325 in 1988. I come from BIG people and we all love to eat. In 1990 I went on the "Divorce" diet and lost 80 lbs. Kept it off for about 3 years until I met my current husband. I have been 250-275 for the last 10-12 years. In 2005 I started the WSL journey with my friend Cheryl. I guess I wasn't ready for the journey then. Cheryl is now 3 years post-op and looks famdabulous! In July 2006 my little sister had WLS and is now looking, feeling and acting like a brand new person. I have been newly inspired by these two, I am 41 and want to START living. I have finally quit smoking and completed all the requirements for my Surgeon and insurance company. My husband has been a bit apprehensive about long term post-op "problems", but is very supportive of the whole thing. Thank God for this website and all the information available through Western Bariatric Institute. He has mellowed a lot.
