My first attempt to lose weight as a teenager was to starve myself. At that time, my mother said to me "if you can't lose weight by your 15th birthday (quinceañera), then you won't have a party". So yeah, its been an all down/uphill experience since then.
I have been interested in WLS since that late 90's. But at that time, I wan't insured. There has been a huge advance since then and I have been blessed with a wonderful job and benefits and hopefully it will all come together soon.
I have chosen the RNY. I have my first consult with the surgeon on 09-27-2005 (Tue) - Dr. Wilson @ 2:00pm. And even though I have a PPO, I will see my PCP so she can start the evals that they require. God bless.
