I am a 27 year old. I have been , fat, overweight, obese (which ever you want to call it) my whole life. I come from a family of large people. My mom and one of my older brothers both had DS  WLS in November 2005. They had theirs done in Brazil. WLS is something I have thought about since I was probably 16 yrs old, but never thought it was obtainable. After seeing the great results my mom and brother have had I started looking into to WLS seriously. Mt brother had some very serious complications last year and nearly died, but he is better physically now. His complications weren't completely due to WLS. He had a large part of his intestine become strangulated by scar tissue, that became necrotic and that section had to be removed, then about 5 months after he became very malnourished. He had a revision done by the same dr. I am hoping to have do my surgery. Even though I have seen him go through this I am still committed to having WLS myself. I am now waiting on authorization from my insurance company.
