I am a 60 year old fat wife, mother and grandmother. I was thin my entire life until the age of 35, when I had a hysterecotmy and because of that, I went throuth early menopause. I went from 125 lbs in 1985 to 228 lbs today. I have battled with weight loss for over 20 years. I have a wonderful family and they are all very, very thin. Last year I was diagnosed with Type II Diabetes and once again I tried dieting to lose wieght.
I have tried every diet and have had no long term success. Because of the diabetes and my family history of heart disease, I decided it was time to take drastic measures. So here I am.
I am scheduled for the vertical sleeve surgery with Dr. Gregory Dakin of Cornell Weght Loss Surgery Program at New York Presbysterian on October 25, 2007. It has been a long haul to get here but I know it will be worth it. I want to be thin so I can enjoy my family and live a long and healthy life . I especially want to can see my grandchildren grow up.
I hope that this will be of help to anyone else who needs this surgery.
