Guest guest Posted June 8, 2006 Report Share Posted June 8, 2006 Will do. I'm in Modesto. I have attended support grps here for 3 months (in Mo town) They are a great source of info and support. I have struggled with my wt for 35 yrs. Such a battle after having my kids. I have a lot of co-morbs as well as being abt 130 lbs overweight. I am really ready to get this surgery so I can have some semblance of a normal life. My husband might weigh 150 soaking wet, so I want to weigh less than he does, again. I was 117 when we got married 36 yrs ago. I've been up and down, mostly up and not below 200 since my youngest was born 30 yrs ago. Maybe soon I will be able to be healthier. Where is Clayton?volleyfeen wrote: I'm in Clayton, CA. My pre-pregnancy weight was about 145 lbs (which is a healthy weight for a woman my height). I'm about 80 lbs over weight now and it sux!!! My daughter is 8 yrs-old and I have been struggling to get back to my original weight since she was born. I've stayed pretty active since her birth, playing volleyball (which I've done since I was a child all the way to college level ball) and boxing...my knees finally gave out two months ago due to the excess weight (I'm sure)..my knees cannot longer stand the constant pounding! : ( ..my physical therapist advised I stop playing volleyball for "a few months"... this hit me like a ton of bricks!..my life minus volleyball is NOT a balanced equation; thus, needless to say motivated me to look at all the options available to get my weight back to what it used to be. My goal is to get my healthy life back. If we end up in the same orientation, that would be great!..we can do this together! : ) Keep me posted on your appt. dates as they come. __________________________________________________ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
