Hey all. My name is Eric and I'm 30 years old. Like most people here I have been struggling with being overweight my entire life. I have done the diet thing and even been very successful with it a time or two (lost over 100 lbs twice.) However, the weight.  always comes back plus some. Currently I'm at my heaviest weight over of just under 360lbs with a BMI of 51. I'm sick and tired of weight effecting every aspect of my life. I'm tired of avoiding any and every social occasion I am exposed to. I'm tired of not fitting in booths at restaurant, not being able to buy clothes anywhere, being tired all the time, feeling worthless and super self conscious. I'm tired of being on blood pressure meds and tired of sleep apnea. I'm just tired.

I recently got health insurance that actually covers WLS and am getting super excited about changing my life. I originally wanted Lap Band but have decided the fail rate is too high. I want something with a more proven track record. I'm currently doing my research on Gastric Bypass and DS. If anyone has any advise I would greatly appreciate it.

See you on the other side.
