I, like alot of people have battled with weight problems since I can remember. Curently I weigh 251 lbs. I have tried all the crash diets as well as over the counter diet pills. I went to a weight loss clinic and lost alot of weight 68 lbs to be exact. It got to expensive and I had to stop going within 6 months the weight was back plus 45 extra pounds. My doctor put my on fen-fen and wow that worked well untill my heart started having problems. I went thru the law suit stuff (what a joke) Then I decited to join Curves the gym for women. My doctor advised me to do somthing or I was going to die. Now I have diabedes, high blood pressure, and an irregular heart rate thanks to fen fen. Curves worked very well for me I lost weight and felt good. Them I stoppd going because it was to hard to go and work full time not to mention taking care of my family. One day I was talking to my Co-worker Angela about her attending a seminar for the gastric bypass. She invited me to go with her as her guest. Dr. Higa was the speeker. Several people including myself asked him lots of questions and I was satisfied with all his answers. My next step was to get an appointment with Dr. Higa to see if I was a candidate for the surgery. And this is where my story begins
