My name is Connie. I'm 50, been married 30 years to my sweetheart, we have 4 children, and 6 grandchildren, I was not always overweight, I weighed 165 when I got married, had 5 children in 6 years, gained 60 lbs with the first and never stopped gaining after that. starting weight is 295.6 started seriously pursuing WLS last year I want to enjoy the rest of my life, I have lost weight in the past more than 100 pounds. took me a year, but 3 months to gain it back. my joints and back have said enough, they are quitting if I don't do something fast. so I'm listening to my body and giving it a tool that it can work with, I choose VSG because of the malabsorption of RNY, I know Ill still have some of that, but it seems safer to me. I am an LPN, and have done research and I'm comfortable with my choice. I have med mutual ins and am working on satisfying their requirements. Ive chosen Dr Patrica Choban, and Mt Carmel west in Col Oh for my surgeon and hospital, I'm glad I found this site for support, its been a wealth of info.
