I am still researching my options. I have not decided which procedure is the right one for me. Cost is a major issue, then follow up care for fills. I am 42 years old and it appears that my body has stopped losing weight! I have never had a weight problem before. At the ripe old age of 40 my metabolism went on hiatis, so needless to say I am not very happy about it. I have a couple of physical issues I am dealing with that prevent a rigorous workout program. I need to get the weight off so that I can continue a cardio program. At the weight I am now, I do more damage than good to my body. My appetite is BIG to say the least. Hunger seems to drive the bus on this one. If I was not so hungry all of the time the weight would come off easier. I have much to lose if I do not get this weight off. I have 4 children ranging from 18 years old to 4 years old. I need to be an active part of their lives. Right now I cannot even tie my shoes without getting out of breath! I would love to go to the mall with my girls, but, I am embarassed to go into a clothing store given my size. I really would like to hear other stories, good, bad or indifferent. That is my story.
