The chubby kid in school, "fat friend", looks completely out of place around family... That's me! Since a very early age I've been over weight. Tried everything I could to shed the pounds. From fad diets, pills, insane work outs, crazy infomercial products & everything in between! Yet nothing has worked. For every 1-2 pounds lost I'd gain 5 or more back! It just seemed hopeless. A few years back I did hear about WLS, but stubbornly thought I could do it on my own. Then a few months back I reached 250 lbs, and knew I had to do something. I started to seriously research the lap band. Was loving that untill I went to a seminar at Unity Hospital. I learned soo much, and ultimately decided on VSG!! It just fits soo well with what I want and need out of a weight loss surgery. So now I'm on the threshold of my journey. First nurse visit on Nov. 18, 2011, Then go from there! Already spoke with insurance, got their criteria seems reasonable. I'm soo excited to take my life back and make all these new positive changes in my life!
