Hi. I have been researching wls quite intensely for a couple of months now. I have finally decided what I feel is the best one for me; VSG. I feel such relief now that I can move ahead with this. Actually, two years ago I met with a surgeon here in Chile and he was pushing for me to have surgery (so was every doctor I met with here; for whatever health reason it was I was seeing him/her for, at the end they would bring up my weight and suggest surgery). I was so frightened of the idea of any type of wls and still in the mindset at the time, that I could/should be able to lose the weight myself (as I had done in the past, but only regained more), that I completely refused to consider it.
Well, during that time from seeing the surgeon originally in 2007, I lost around 38 kgs (about 80 lbs) in about 8 months,  but have since regained it all back. and then some.
I now realize I need help, cannot do it on my own, and need the vsg tool to assist me so I can commence my new journey toward a healthy life, free of this weight.
I feel so thankful to the OH site for all the insightful information I have received from many people who have helped me make this decision.
