I have not had a huge weight problem all my life. I struggled with the same 15-20 lbs. through college. Once I got married I started to gain and was onWW when I got pregnant with my first child. All went well but I gained 55lbs. with both my children. I lost it in between, but ended up dieting my way up to my highest weight of 225, a gain of 70 pounds. I have tried everything and nothing has worked--it just got worse. It's been 8 years now and I just can't wait any longer. I have thought about WLS for several years now, but kept thinking the next thing I tried would work. I started out wanting a lab-band and was hoping to be covered by insurance. After the seminar, I knew the band was not for me and the VSG sounded great. I am self-pay and luckily my husband and even my parents are very supportive. I've only had one friend who was worried I was making a mistake. I can't wait to have my life back. I'm always so tired and thanks to a wreck 2 years ago, my back injury has gotten worse with each pound. I only have 13 days left!
