My story...well it goes back to about age 14, when I began my decent into obesity. I weighed about 236 and I was probably 5'6. I needed to lose 60 pounds and I'd consider myself an average weight. Unfortunatly, I lost up until about 218 and gained that back plus more.
I dieted on and off until about age 17, where I used Stacker 2 with Ephedra, which got me down to 198!!! That was the slimmest I remember being. Since then, I've gained a good 110 pounds!!! I'm about 5'6 1/2, to 5'7, so you do the math!
Recently, I've been trying calorie counting, Curves, etc. but none of those diet plans worked for me. I've tried Jenny Craig, Weightwatchers, LA Weightloss, Stacker, gyms, Calorieking.com, EVERYTHING!!! (it's hard when you have no willpower!) So basically I went to a dietician, and she told me my only shot at weightloss was Gastric Bypass...which kind of pissed me off, but whatever!
So I guess about 4 months ago I became interested in getting surgery so I made an apointment with Dr. Dakin. I met with him, met with the nutritionist for 3 months, the psychologist, had an endoscopy, and today (5/30/07) I had my pre-admission testing.
:) Good luck to all!
