I am 44 yrs. old and a mother of two fantastic children...who are adults now. Most of my life I had an overactive metabolism and was underweight. After having my 2 children, my metabolism turned traitorous and hit the road. I only wish SOME of it would have gotten left behind.

I will post pictures later. I am still working on losing some more weight before my surgery.
Today I got a reminder from my PS that my pre-op...
