My name is Sarah Watrous. I have been a big child/woman all my life. I was 250 lbs in middle school, graduated at 350 lbs from HS, and when I was in college, I am not sure how much I weighed. In 2005, I met my future husband. I was confident, and I felt awesome. I just completed the medically monitored weight loss program and was set to have the surgery. I had lost 80 lbs on that program; however, I aged off my parents insurance. I was back down to 350. Fast forward past five years of marriage, 1 year of dating, and 1 child, and I was 519 lbs. So I lost 51 lbs before VSG, my surgery was 10/23/12. I have lost 101 lbs since.. total loss 152 lbs. Which is the most I have ever lost and kept off. I am approved to have the duodenal switch sometime in September 2013; however, in order to do that I need to get my Vitamin D to 40. Currently it's at 29. I have been taking 50,000 ui daily to help boost my level, and about a week ago I switched to Vitamin D3.
