My Story

My name is Megan....I have been overweight my whole life .... I'm 21 yrs old and my highest weight was 429...I have been researching this surgery since i have been 16 so i know alot about the surgery....i finally decided to do something about it last year i was at a drs appt and asked my dr about it so he referred me to hershey med center .. i have been overweight forever...i have spinal stenosis , 2 herniated discs in my lumbar, a crooked pelvic bone (believe it or not causes back pain) , my knees and ankles hurt, i think i now have acid reflux , i cant walk 2 feet without losing my breath....basically i feel if i dont have this surgery i wont be able to walk  by next year...ive been on every diet and pill  out there .. nothing works!!!!! im only 21 yrs old i have a long life ahead of me i need to be healthy! welll i guess that about sums it up if u have any ? just mail me :0)
