I am the luckiest woman in the world! I won the husband lotto when I married Michael and he and I thoroughly enjoy our 4 sons, 3 daughter in laws, and 6 grand babies! We live on the beach in Texas. We fish, hunt, and garden avidly. We also eat very well, and often! I was always active enough to counter balance this, until the past 5 years. I retired from my high stress job, stayed home and COOKED! The weight has just really piled on since then. I had a hysterectomy 3 years ago, became a lot less active during rehab, and never really hit the ground running since. And, of course, more weight piled on. I am now on high blood pressure meds daily and have been warned that my sugar numbers are creeping up. I have increased my activity levels this past year and the scale will not budge! Michael is concerned about my health, we didn't come this far for him to be by himself, he says. So we started the VSG journey. I am an uber-researcher, and after hours online, talks with a few doctors, I am convinced that VSG is the right answer for us. I am a "lay it all out there" kind of person, so if my posts are too graphic for you, I apologize ahead of time. I know that some of the veteran VSG posts have really been a big help to me. I hope to be on of the success stories real soon!
