well im 40 years old and I have decided I need to have the gastric surgery. I have started the process and now I have to lose 50lbs which I know I can do. My goal is to have lost the weight before the end of 2009 so I could have my surgery in 2010 to start off the new year a new person. This is the second time I have thought of having the surgery but this time I will go thru with it. Since I turned 40 I have had a lot of health issues the last straw is when I was told I have a TERRIBLE knee and that knee replacement wasnt an option. I have to lose this weight to save myself and be able to live a better and more active lifestyle. I start my journey weighing 431 lbs and I hope to end this journey under 200 lbs. I have an awesome family and friends that support and encourge me every step of the way.
