HI
HI, I have been looking for a message board in hopes of finding others my age that has experience with the gastric bypass. I really like this one! I have not had the surgery yet but, will be attending the first siminar in August at the CAMC Women and Children's Hospital and hopefully will be approved by my insurance to have it done. I have been obese for years. I have always been overweight since 1976 (after my 2nd child was born). That was my fault due to eating too much. I have tried so many diets off and on throughout the years. My weight loss just yo-yoed back and forth so I will start with the year of 2003 I weighed 300 pounds. By 2005 I finally got down to 270 and went to Curves trying to lose more. Their plan was good but I was not able to keep up the workouts due to health problems. In 2006 I weighed 260 and started the weight loss plan with Medabolix. I did really good with their plan but developed stomach trouble due to the foods I had to eat and had to make changes. Yep, I gained it back plus. Sooo, here I go again. I now weigh 256 and I do hope to get approved for the gastric bypass, loose the excess weight and make my body healthier so I can walk without hurting. I miss being able to participate in activities with my husband and four grown children and eleven grandchildren.
Does anyone live near Elkview, WV?

I have reached my goal!
Welcome!
I'm getting ready to 'restart' my journey. I hang out a lot over on the 'over 50 forum'... the WV board is rather quiet. Not sure why... I know enough people where I work that could keep this busy for days with their WLS info. I'll be interested to hear how you enjoy the forum. I found the one I attended fascinating and had a lot of my questions answered.
