Laura B.
HI. My name is Laura.. I am 21 years old (22 on April Fools Day), and I am in the process of getting approved for weight loss surgery. I am currently at about 300 lbs at a height of 5'4". I have been chubby for all of my life, but I started to really gain weight when I entered high school (great timing huh). I reached my highest weight my senior year, where I probably reached about 350 lbs. Since then I have leveled out at 300 and I just don't seem to be getting any lower. I would like to get a vertical gasterectomy, so I hope that my insurance will approve it. Otherwise I would be happy with a standard gastric bypass. I would love to get some feedback and suggestions from some post-ops; anything would be helpful. I am so excited about my future, and I just can't wait to get started! I want to get healthy, and I think that weight loss surgery will be a great tool to help me reach my goal!
