Hello Everyone,
I am a 30 year old man who has been obese since 4th grade. I basically ignored the problem for the first 25 years or so and the last 5 years have been a constant emotional struggle to against my weight pushing me all the way to severe depression. I tried multiple diets and got disheartened by failure stemming from my lack of self-control and the lack of a supportive environment (I live alone and have a high-stress job). Finally I decided that I need something more and having my VSG done. I had to go the self-pay route as my insurance does not cover this surgery. My hope is that this is the kick-start I need to actually get to a normal weight and feel normal for perhaps the first time in my adult life.
I hope to share my journey with you folks!
