My name is Wendi and I'm 40 years old. I've been overweight my whole life and have tried every diet ever invented! Fortunately I don't have a single health problem other than being obese and I wanted to continue that. I was so thankful to hear I was approved for VSG because there comes a point when frustration and hopelessness kicks in when all other diets have failed. I had VSG on Oct 5th 2015 and can't wait to begin my new life. My preop weight was 282.4 lbs and I vow to never see that number again!
