My Introduction
Hi, I'm Barb from the Central Coast Redwoods in CA. I'm having Surgery, though, in San Bernardino - down south where I can have support.
I'm OLD _ _ _??. I'll be 59 4 days past my surgery. I still am active as a consultant for systems management and counseling leaders. I have a son with a Ph.D in Portland OR - he has my only grandchild. My duaghter lives in the redwoods and has her Ph.D and works as an environmental consultant. She is presently working with Clint Eastwood on saving the redwoods.
I have only been overweight for the past two years when I acquired diabetes. I'm looking forward to hiking, skiing, and riding horses again.
I'm having the lap band!!! I know it is slower, but my insurance approved it an d I want to start there.
Let's keep close to one another!!
HI barb nice to meet you!!!!
Great news that your gonna be a bandster! I am going for the RNY bypass i have had the weight issues all my life and after sitting with my surgeon this is best for me!!! I know how to loose wieght just never stays off.
I have a date for surgery but i need to move my date out a week so i can have the help of family during the hardest days....so i am praying they will give me JUNE 1 date......i dont want to go out more then a week.
I am so happy these days as i been required by my surgeon to loose some lbs pre op...makes for less complications for me, makes his job
a little easier and the weight is finally melting off me for this requirement.
I was down to an all time lo for me this am to 287.5, on my first consult with the surgeon i was 310! SURGERY here i come.......and i dream of being in wonderland with so many others on this message board...
WELL good luck, I have family out in your state in LAGUNA hills, CA!
