Hi- I live in Western PA.. just north of Pittsburgh..Iam married to a terrific guy for 32 yrs.. and we both have great full time jobs, that keep us busy....I also have a daughter, 2 dogs, 3 cats, and a quarter horse gelding that we show at horse shows...
I think after struggling all my life with my weight I am finally ready to make the decision for RNY WLS. I'm 50 yrs old, and work full time, and have 2 at home business I work at too.. I'm very busy, and I think thats part of the reason I can never lose weight... So easy to grab those quick snacks, and take out meals... I realize I have to take control of my life, and what I put in my mouth.
My daugher is 22 yrs old and in Grad School, and engaged to a great guy.... So this motivates me... A wedding is in my future... and I refuse to look at 18W and 20W dresses.... in 2013... And I look farther ahead..(very far).... with grandchildren hopefully in my future.. and I want to be able to get on my knees, and play with them... and not have them look at me, like I'm a beached whale.
I'm a healthy obese person for now,.. but that probably won't last forever... I feel signs of asthma, and knee and back pain creeping up on me. I am a goal oriented person, and feel I can do this... I lost 60lbs with weight watchers after my daughter was born,, and they wanted me to be a spokesperson for them... I was too busy... then the weight crept back on.... 18yrs later.. here I am... I did the hypnosis... lost 30lbs in 2 mths... I did radio commercials for my Dr... they were SO impressed.... But the weight came back on.. the list goes on.... everyone has been there...
I need a permant fix... (don't we all). But I think the RNY surgery will help me the best to keep me eating slower-- and small portions.... Also-- the rapid weight loss will encourage me to start.
