About Me
I come from a wonderful old world Italian and Swedish family. I just recently lost my employment after 25 years. I have been morbidly obese for most of my life. I weigh 429lbs and that is after Gastric Bypass Surgery that has not been a great success for me. I am type 2 diabetic. I love life, but have been hiding from it forever. I am running out of time!! I need help and support. Thank you in advance.
