Well....not sure where to start... I am 55 and have been overweight my entire life. I am married and have two sons 18 and 22. I had looked into surgery 10 or 15 years ago and my husband absolutely forbid it. This was when I think there were a lot more complications and mortality issues. I recently began working with an art therapy group for troubled teens and as we began our work, it became apparent the majority of my "if only" regrets were weight related. After many years of my insurance company denying all wls, they finally added it! I am soooo excited to begin the process!
