Okay...so I am considering having WLS. I have thought about it off and on for many years, but am seriously considering it since my insurance company just put coverage for it back into my health plan. I am 31-years old and a teacher. I have struggled with my weight the majority of my life. It has really gone up and down over the past 10-15 years. I am getting to the stage in my life where medical issues are starting to become an issue and I can only see things getting worse. I know that WLS is not an "easy fix" and that it will not change my brain. I honestly believe, however, that WLS is the only thing that is going to kick my butt into gear enough to change. I am going to a seminar on Tuesday 04/20 to hear about options that I have and where to go from here. I am excited and nervous. Althought my parents are supportive of everything that I have done in my life, understandably they are concerned about my "newest" decision. My mother is going with my to the seminar, which I hope will help her understand my choice.
