I hope everything goes well with my surgery. My weight is now 265. My goal is to be at least 185. I feel like I'm always hungry when I'm not. So Now I'm ready to start my new journey on this weight loss. Im scared but it have to be done. Everyday i have to climb up 100 stairs for work and when i reach the top I'm out of breath.

Wow.. that's great. That's what I'm talking about. I've lost a lot of weight in 2003, I'll find that before and after pic and put it up. But now I've gotten bigger but not n the face and tired of takin all kind of diet pills just to lose weight. It's just not workin for me anymore.

My job does the surgery but you have to be on a waiting list. I found out that they are discontinuing the program. Now I have chosen to go to Mexico to have this done. I will keep you posted
