Hi I joined the group yesterday. I am a mom of 5 grown children and hitting 50 soon made me really evaluate my health. I have been reading many of the posts and find them very helpful and informational. I am pre-op I have two more appointments then my surgery date will be scheduled. I am having the VSG and I am looking so forward to it but I'm very nervous at the same time. lt may sound silly but the one thing I want to do is go zip lining with my husband. Reading all your stories gives me the inspiration I need to get there.

    Welcome! Zip lining is an excellent aspiration! I took surfing lessons last month for the first time at the age of 55. I wasn't even thinking of that when I started on this journey to take control of my health.

    I wanted to ride the mules down into the Grand Canyon without feeling guilty of animal abuse! Don't know if I'll ever do it -my husband would seriously NOT enjoy that. But the possibility is open, which is pretty exciting! So, keep your eyes on the long distance rewards. That's the trick! Welcome, and this group is awesome!

    Thanks for making me feel welcome. Love hearing all the things you want to do and things you have done. You have given me some new ideas. We will be traveling full time in our motorhome in about a year so I know there will be adventures I never thought of that will come up. Martabeerich I actually thought the same thing about the mules so you gave me a good laugh.
