Hello everyone, my name is Paulette and I am 56 years old. Every since I can remember I have been bigger than most of my friends, but I seemed to always fit in and have a good time. Was pretty healthy as a child and had a great social life. I have been married twice and now single and loving it!! lol The last 2 years I have been plagued with so many health issues and I believe that I have arthritisis from my hair line to my toes!!!! All my doctors kept saying get some of that weight off, but I was tired of all the fad diets and starvation diets, so I didn't do anything about it, until my back started hurting so bad, I can hardly walk.......of course the doctors say get some of that weight off!! So here I am, ready to get my life together and live a happy and productive life, I love to travel and this has been keeping me close to the house......no no no this won't do!!! So with the help of surgery and my family and you all I would like to make this happen. I'm scared and nervous, but I have three fantastic grandkids that I want to be around to see grow up!!! So I am ready to walk this journey and live a healthy and stress free life if I can!! I went to my counseltation on the 26th of Aug. Friday I had an ultra sound and endoscopy done and tomorrow I go to the lung doctor. I am ready, I think lol.
