I have been struggling with image issues most of my life. I thought I was fat even when I wasn't, which caused me to starve myself in H.S..
It didn't take me much to stop doing that but I was very underweight and losing my hair. Somehow my selfworth was measured by how I looked and I bought into that for many years. Eventually I went from one extreme to another and honestly am not sure how it all got so out of control. I stopped weighing myself and it seemed as though I gained 100#'s overnight. I have researched WLS for several years without much consideration towards GB or DS (too drastic for me). But as soon as I heard about LB I knew that it was for me (if and) when I decided to have WLS. Waited for insurance to approve it. But still waited a few months to be sure I was really ready. So here I am ready to start my journey.
