Almost there!

Dec 13, 2012

Well, like most people on here, I have battled with my weight for many years.  Now, I've never been "thin", but, until about age 20ish, I was always quite athletic - a little "big boned" as I was told back then.  I enjoyed going to the gym, working out, doing classes...so I have spent years on and off, doing a few months at a time "getting in shape", only to inevitably fall off the wagon and gain whatever I'd lost back.  By 2010, I'd basically "given up" - got tired of the up and down, frustration with myself, etc....and started looking at the Lap Band.  I went for two separate consultations in a year and a half and was "almost" decided...until the doctor (who was lovely) was unable to give me the kind of answer I needed in order to go ahead with it.

So, there I was...no Lap Band...and I began looking into alternatives.  I found this web site, and began researching RNY and VSG.  My doctor agreed to make the referral to the Bariatric Network in Ontario in May of 2012...and that is where things started.
