I am considering surgery, after high school (abour 15 years ago), I began putting on weight, I have tried everything, from working out to SlimFast to risking taking ephedrine.  Although I did acheive a weight loss, it was short lived.  I always gained it back, plus more.  I am seriously considering the surgery to use it as a tool to learn healthy eating habits and lead a healthy lifestyle.  I attended my first seminar at Sentara Norfolk General on May 12, 2010.  I am fortunate to have BCBS Federal which has no "extra" requirements other than the NIH criteria.  I am currently just at a BMI of 40 with no co-morbid conditions.  I am hoping to have my surgery by the end of summer 2010.  My first consult with my surgeon, Dr. Wohlgemuth,  is June 1, 2010.  I am very excited and nervous...but finally ready to take charge of my life and live healthier and longer!!
