Thought I'd drop in and say hey. I heard about the group from a FB page and have enjoyed reading everyones posts. It is obvious that folks here care about others and are nonjudgmental. I appreciate that. My name is Carol - I am 57 - married, live in Louisville, TN - near the Great Smokey Mountains - with 2 golden retriever and some chihuahuas - had lap band 5.5 years ago saw a new surgeon this week - Dr. Boyce about a revision to DS. Scared shiteless about it really. I am going to do it, I know I am, I just want to learn everything I can so my eyes are wide open. I am a nurse so that doesn't help, been away from the bedside 18 years - playing with computers instead(data geek). The family is concerned for me but hell, my life the last several years has been couch sitting, desk sitting, sitting, sitting, sitting. My 91 yo MIL can out walk me - it is shameful. So, I'll reach out with questions - like a 2 year old...why??? Can't say I am excited, but am beginning to feel hopeful. maybe just a little bit.
