Where do I begin, like everyone I have struggled my whole life with weight, even when I was at an ok weight didn't know it and always thought I was fat. Looking back & seeing pictures as a teenager I was not too bad maybe145 lbs which back then was huge and was on diet pills from 19 years old to 31 years old. I manage to stay just under 200lbs (180-200) till I was 43 and had another
child and gained 60 lbs of which I have struggled with for 13 years trying every diet/weight loss program there is. I have lost 20 lbs and gained 30 back so many times I've lost count. I had been on the waiting list for full baractic surgery here in Sk. for years, the program came to a stop as the doctor retired but have started it again in Regina a year ago. After having my initial consultation I am on the 6 month assessment part but decided quite early that this surgery is not for me.
I met peanutfreemom who had the VSG done last April and in talking with her and attending support group and also having a girlfriend that had it done 3 weeks ago am now going to Mexico to have this procedure done Jan 18, 2010.
Every day I am excited, scared, worried but am determined to get my life back. I pray this is the right decision!!
