Maxi is my mom!!

I love my mom! She is a kind hearted, FUNNY woman. I would like wls but if I had to chose only one of us to get the surgery....it would be her. I am very supportive of her hopes to get the surgery. Her health is the main reason for her to get the surgery. But also, who wants to be fat in a "skinny" world. She is the Activities Director of a nursing home. Not only does she work with the residents of the nursing home but she also handles working with other department heads, proforming seminars and meeting other professionals. I think that people don't see her for her awesome ability to make life as good as possible fo the elderly because of her obesity. I think they look down on her and don't give her the respect she deserves. I applaude her. She needs the surgery for her profession, for her self-esteem, but most of all, for her life.

AMEN!! Well said... mom is lucky to have a daughter as caring as you!
