I have been over weight my entire adult life. I have wanted this surgery for more than ten years. I changed companys that i work for so that i could get insurance that would cover it. I t took two years before I was eligible but it was well worth the wait. At my highest I was 400 pounds and an insulin dependent diabetic having to take 3 shots or more a day. I had surgery November 17, 2009 I had to take a injection that morning because my sugar was 300 BUT THAT WAS MY LAST INJECTION. It is now February 2, 2010 I weigh 295 and have not taken a shot or pill either one for my sugar nor have i had to take my blood pressure pills. I did have to have knee replacement surgery in december which has slowed down my exersice but I have just finished physical theraphy and hope to get back on track.I would like to reach the first step of my goal of 200 pounds by july 2010 and by christmas I would like to be at my goal of 150. stay tuned for updates
