I am 27 years old, I have been obese for about 20 years of my life. I am currently, I weigh 275 lbs, and I am 5'8. I have highblood pressure, I am border line diabetic, have constant back pain, and get migraines aleast once a week. I am glad that me and my primary care doctor felt that WLS seems like the best solution.

08/28/03 - Today i am one month post op and i am down 45 pounds,
i weighed 275 and now i am 230 lbs, i dont feel i look it yet but other people see it. Its been hard i can tell you something never let anyone think wls is the easy way out, i have had many ups and downs, i wasnt drinking enough, i dry heave for no reason, but then you have your good days and those are the days you feel that the wls was well worth it.
