Roadtothin
Well like a lot of you in here, I have battled my weight my whole life. Been up and down so many times I can't count. I know what it feels like to be thin. When I was in my early 20's I went from 180 to 130 and stayed there for 6 years. Age helps. Slowly but surely I put on weight, lost it put it on etc. Now I am 54 and over 200 pounds. My knees hurt, I have boderline high blood pressure, and just uncomfortable. I have done everything I can think of and I just can't lose weight and keep it off. I don't know how many times I heard just eat less and exercise more, I did that it didn't work. Like everyone I did not take this decision lightley. I am paying cash because my insurance would not cover me. I contacted Patti Lissberrger from Bariatric.com and my journey began. Oh one more thing. I have to say that the thing I hate the worst is the discrimination I feel towards my weight. I will never do that to someone else, I know how it feels. I hope everyone who comes out of this a thin person will remember what it was like. The only problem I might have is not telling everyone to have the surgery.
About me: I am 54 married 31 years. Live in Huntington Beach, California (Southern Ca) Have 3 grown children all boys and one grandchild a little girl. (finally got a girl) I am very active in spite of my weight. I have a red Vespa scooter and belong to a scooter club (CC Riders) I love to travel. My husband and I have been on 10 Cruises. I am retired one year now and so is hubby. All we do is play all day. Life is great except for this weight. That will change soon.
