Hello: I am 50 year old male who started to gain weight rapidly over the past 5 years. I have been overweight a couple times in my life, but for the most part kept it off. Five years ago I weighed 170 and gained up to 261 before I decided to have VSG.
My health was at state. I was diagnosed with a little bit of everything from sleep apnea, Anxiety, Fibromyalgia, to the beginning of diabetes. I was also heavily medicated and would fall asleep at the blink of an eye. My whole body ached all the time. I was miserable.
My family became very concern about me. My Sister suggested that I look into weight loss surgery. I decided to go with the VSG and started the road to prepping for the surgery. I had my surgery on November 9, 2015 at 248lbs. I am now down to 156 and feel like a new man. I have passed my original goal of 165.
This surgery has changed my life. Though it was rough for the first month or so, it has really became very easy to adapt to my new lifestyle and way of eating. I would highly recommend this surgery. It has been very easy to manage and the weight has come off fast. That has really kept me motivated. If you are considering this surgery, Do it!!! You will so Happy you did.
