Well, I have been overweight just about my entire life. I have been on every diet and every diet pill ever put out, but always ended with the same result: lose a few pounds and gain back a few more. I heard about endobariatrics from a friend that is also trying to have this done, I have fought with my insurance company for about 5 years trying to get approved for lapband ( I am a diabetic,  have high blood pressure, and sleep apnea)with no luck. Finally, through many tears and prayers, I am scheduled to have VGS on July the 11th. I have to be on a liquid diet until then but what a goal I have to look forward to. I have a wonderful 10 year old son and a loving and supporting husband that are my biggest motivators.
