I have been heavy most of my life. Although I have had periods where I was a "normal" weight, what it took to get there was seemed very abnormal as compared to others with similar lifestyles. About 10 years ago I lost a significant amount of weight as I wanted to wear a 2 pc bathing suit in public, just once before I turned 30. The weight stayed off for 6 months until I went on a type of birth control that basically flat lined my metabolism. Ever since then I have had trouble keeping my weight stable, let alone losing weight and now I am at my heaviest weight ever. I have done quite a bit of research on GB and determined that DS was the right procedure for me. My surgery has been scheduled for 11-18-2008 and I am so looking forward the journey back to "normal".
