6 months already! MY story...(LONG)

Thanks, Deb and congrats on your success thus far.  I was so dependent on this website (still am actually) when I first began researching wls so I promised myself to try and pay it forward.  Even if one person is helped in some way by my words, it's well worth the time it takes to write a post or blog entry.

Great post-- thank you so much for sharing your story! It is great inspiration for newbies like me and for people considering surgery. You go, girl!

Thanks and the best of luck to you on your journey!

 I was in a similar situation.  I was all gung ho to get the LB, and talked to a doctor who steered me towards RNY or the Sleeve.  

Bravo for you for being brave enough to admit you do indulge.  I do too, and those that didn't at all during their losing phase  are amazing to me.  Also, way to go for being brave enough to take the step to have surgery and change your life!

Hi Alicia.  Yes, I thank God I found this website and learned all the negative aspects re:LB.  I really didn't know what VSG was (it was briefly discussed at the seminar). 
I do wonder where I would be today had I followed plan without "cheating."
