hi everyone. i am having gastric by pass surgery tuesday at st joes. dr quilici is my dr. in burbank, california. i am from detroit and my whole family is there. i married a man from here and i have been here almost 3 years. i go back and forth a lot to see my children and 8 grand children...anyway...my point is my daughter surprised me today. she came in to be with me for my surgery. i have never been so surprised in my life. she had surgery nov. 17th in detroit and is doing awesome....... so she left her husband and 2 children to be with me...so i am really happy today...and that is why i am trying to make this short. so my name is judye and i am 62 years old. i have been fat my whole life...up and down....up and down. when the dr asked me my wieght in high school and when i got married and at different times...i just said..heavy ..heavier...less heavy..etc. so this is my last shot. i am so happy to be able to do this. i was diagnosed with diabetes in september and my dr. said as long as i was having the surgery i didnt need to go on medication as it would be reversed. how great is that???? so tomorrow is the yukky bowel prep and tueday i begin my "new birthday" . i will keep you posted..i am so grateful for sights like this..i know the support will be invaluable to me.

thank you for listening...and being there.
