I am 41 years old and my birthday is coming.. this March lol... I had VSG surgery July 13th and I have so far lost 91 lbs. with 55 left to go till I am at my ultimate goal of 118. I wish I had never let myself get so out of control but thank goodness for WLS.
I wanted to do something before I turned 40 about my weight and I tried everything. I finally got the courage to ask about WLS and after finding out all the options I was lucky enough to have an insurance company to cover my VSG. I had started this journey thinking I would have a lap-band but then reading the issues with that asked about RNY and then finding out some of the things that could happen I was scared, so when I had found about the RNY the surgeon talked about a VSG and said I would probably be happier with that than with any of the others. So here I am and I feel better than I have in 20 yrs.
I love this forum and the facebook page ;D

Hi Marcia, I am glad you are enjoying the FB page and forum. It is awesome Heather put it all together. Congrats on your weight loss. It sure was hard for me to have the WLS conversation with my doctor and it took a lot of courage for me too, so I am glad to hear somebody else say that! Keep up the great work!
