I've been overweight all my life and am at a point where I feel like my weight is just out of control! I have tried many plans in the past and even lost 100 pounds before only to put all of it back on plus an additional 25 pounds. I was always against surgery, but finally started looking at this as a tool to help me reach my goals rather than "the easy way out." I've found that this decision is nowhere near easy and I will still have to work hard to lose weight, but at least my odds of success will be a little better. So, here I am with all of my pre-op appointments set for January 2010 (psychological eval, labs, x-ray, and diet and nutrition, etc.). Once this has been completed, my information will be submitted for approval with my insurance company, and then hopefully I will get my date (yay!).
