I'm a 30 year old Registered Nurse, I have battled my weight my entire life! I was athletic in high school and since I graduated in 1998, I have just packed on the pounds I decided to have to VGS after a lot of research on it vs.the lap band. I take care of many obese and diabetic patients, and the things they go through with their health are like nothing Id ever want to be put through, so seeing that led me to the decision to have WLS. Luckily I dont have a problem with diabetes, but I fear if I continue to gain weight, I could possibly! I am getting married May 12,2012, and hope to start a family sometime after my wedding! I am currently in my 6 month supervised weight loss program and will be finished July 14,2011. I hope to have surgery as soon after that as possible!
