Hello! This is my first post! My name is Karen Anderson and I am 5'2" and 220 lbs. My age is 65, soon to be 66. Have been a professional dieter- overweight even as a child.I have 3 co-morbidities which should help qualify me for bariatric surgery- hopefully the Gastric Sleeve (which my sister had and was very successful). I see the surgeon in 3 weeks. If I don't go through with this, I am at risk for stroke, a heart attack or death. I love hearing all the success stories and would like to hear from older people too.My husband is extremely overweight and unmotivated and I'm afraid his choices have rubbed off on me, such that my weight is at an all- time high. I want to change MYSELF and I do not have a strong support system!
