Hi everyone.....My screen name is SenidM and my real name is Szndra(Sandy). I just had Lap RNY on Nov. 19th and home 2 days. I weighed 270.4 lbs. my first visit with the Surgeon (I am 5'7" tall) the day I checked in for the surgery I was at 254.4 but have not stepped on the scales yet as I know it'll probably be higher because of the IV fluids and do not want to get discouraged. I am married to the same man for almost 48 years. We have one son living here in the same town who is 44 and one daughter who is 41 and lives in Boise, Idaho. We have one grand daughter (here) who is 9 yrs. old and one step grand son who is 23. I am retired but my husband still works.....we own a home improvement company and is run by my husband and our son. I worked for 20+ years as a Medical Lab Asst. and phlebotomist and at a Radio Station (we owned one at one time) as hubby was in broadcasting and our daughter still is in Boise. My favorite music would probably have to be country and country rock. I love romance and family movies, and all kinds of books, novels or educational. My hobbies are sketching, crossword puzzles, and baking european type breads and flat breads. (I plan to continue this but can eat only very little of it...darn) I live in the same town I was born in 66 yrs ago
I love yellow roses, my favorite color is yellow, I love Greek and Lebanese food and love soft floral scented perfumes and colognes. I am a people person and love to meet new people all the time.
