Hi, I'm Vickiemae and I am having a VSG on October 8th 2013! I have never been a petite flower, but was an average size through college. I graduated and ended up with a pretty sedentary job and gradually gained over 120lbs. I have tried lots of things over the years and nothing has really clicked, which seems to be lots of our stories. I have had both knees replaced, HB, Sleep Apnea and my primary doc was goint to get me started on suger meds. uggg! So I received a referal to Sparrow in Lansing, but my insurance wouldn't cover it there because of a lack of a Blue Excellence rating? So to Spectrum Medical in Grand Rapids on about August 18th. I have been doing lots of research and following a lot of utube journals and gotten lots of great ideas. I am 51 and want to be healthy!
