I have always been overweight.   I lost weight, sometimes a lot of it, but gained it back.  I know 3 people who have had the surgery and are successfully losing and keeping weight off.  Though it's scary to take a surgical approach, I feel it is the only method that has a chance of keeping the weight off.  I am worried about living without the comfort I've gotten from food.  But continuing in this eating habit is dangerous to my health.  I am trying not to let the food habit talk, and to listen to the healthy voice in me that is saying, you need this tool.   So I applied to my insurance and it was approved.  The date was set today, and I am still a bit in shock.  My patner supports this completely.  The next step for me is telling my friends.
