I remember my metabolism changing at puberty - I was very thin as a child and still have thin ankles and wrists. I'm 100# overweight at this time, at age 56. I never thought I'd consider any type of bariatric surgery but I'm so tired of being so heavy for so long and I feel I really need some help in getting the weight off. I'm a new LVN, too, and with all the problems with obesity I see in health care, it's really time I do something about this. I was surprised my (very conservative) PCP was supportive to my idea. I'm past the 1st surgeon consult, psych eval, nutritionist - I'm just waiting for the ok from my insurance company. (I hope they approve!) Thanks to the administrators of this site - it's very helpful !
