New Here

Hi Everyone!

My name is Melody (better known as Melz.)  I'm 39 and a mother to an 11 year old earth son and one heavenly son. I've been overweight all my life.  What I want for myself is to be slender, healthy, and live old enough to see my grandchildren be born & grow up.

I am a born rebel.  When I was in 10th grade, I weighed 176. That's alot for a 4'11" frame.  Everyone teased me so much that I had had enough.  They dared me to go out for the volleyball team and I did.  Not only did I make the team, but I played well enough to be a starter.  I really wanted to show those mean kids that I didn't have to take their rude comments and that I could do anything they could do.

So, I'm now waiting for my surgery and I'm even more starved for information on the best ways to succeed.

I'm glad to meet you all.

Good Luck & Great Success!!
Melz

Congrats Melz!!!!  You are on your way to a whole new world!

Hi Melz, I have 4 boys and my oldest is 11. I understand you wanting to be healthier to see your grandkids.   Like you, I was also picked on alot and overweight my whole life. What is nice here is that you meet people who are walking down that same path and instead of walking it alone you have a whole new family to support and look after you. Great success to you also. Congrats on your journey. Take care and keep us posted. 

Hi and welcome to Life-Starts Melz,
I'm glad you found us. I hope you feel welcomed and encouraged in this journey.
You are on an amazing journey. You will soon be on the other side of surgery.
I look forward to getting to know you.
Hugs~

My surgeon is Dr Schoen as well. He is a very good surgeon.

Welcome Melz,

       I have 2 stepdaughters and 3 grandchildren and I am sooo thankful to the Lord that I had WLS. Now I can be there for the kids and have fun with them as well.
