Hi, My name is Kim and I am 37yrs old in Boston, Ma I have been fighting obesity my whole life. I currently weight 301lbs and I am 5'7. I have been back and forth with WLS for many years and never seem to go through with it. I've been trying to rationalize why this is. My husband is very supportive and I want to do it. But why can't I go through with it? Please help!! -Kim

Thanks everyone!! All I can say is that I am ready but nobody really ever wants to have surgery any kind. I hurt all the time and I'm sick and tired of being sick and tired......... -Kim

Hi, Looking for a really good experienced surgeon in the Boston area or north of Boston. Anyone?? -Kim

Thanks everone for you information!! I've been really wanting to have VSG for a few years but everytime I got close I backed out for unknown reasons. Maybe it's time to reconsider.

Just looking for advice for surgeons in Mexico for VSG. -Kim

Hi, I am a 37yr old woman that has been wanting surgery for years but everytime I tell my parents they make me chicken out and I can't go through with it. How do I put my big girl pants on and make my own decision and stick with it??? My mom is the worst she is sooooooooo persuasive. I'm like 110lbs overweight. Anyone in my situation? Any tips or advice?? I'm really in a bind....................A little more about me is that I am married to a guy that supports my decision 100 percent and I have to kids 10 and 7. -Kim

No bad reason, Mt Auburn turned out to be too far for me to travel back and forth.......................thats all!! -Kim
