      From pnutbtrcup October 10

      I am very excited and nervous. However I am looking forward to living my new life healthy. I think it will help the both of us. I have the support of my family and friends but it doesnt seem like it some days. I guess unless you've truly experienced something, you cant really help someone else. you can reach me at my regular email keepinusmilin@yahoo.com or we can continue to correspond this way. either way is fine. i look forward to talking with you soon.

      I am 54 years old and battling with weight issues since my late 20's. Tried almost every diet, no permanent lost, so I am having GBS on October 20, 2009. Need all the support and education I can get, so I am a new member. Any help will be appreciated.
