I'm currently 56 years old, fat, female, diabetic, the usual ailments that come from being fat and having a grandmother who was the same. At any rate, I started getting fat in college (although I had been told all my childhood I was fat - typical. I look at pictures...no, I wasn't. I had a fat-phobic mother. But I've forgiven her.) and, like everybody else, have yo-yo dieted all my adult life without any long-lasting results. Anyway, after much research I made the decision last year to pursue gastric bypass. I have a goal: to weigh what my driver's license still says I weigh (Highway patrol license renewal person: "Has anything changed on your driver's license?" I figure it's really none of their business so of course I answer with a straight face "uh...no". Been getting away with it now for 40 years.) After all the tests, I'm scheduled for April 16.
