Me Time

I have spent the last several years caring for terminally ill and elderly family members, as well as holding down a full time job and having a husband and children of my own. Can you spell STRESSED.... :)

I have been looking into the WLS options for a couple of years, and decided that 2011 is the year for ME.

I have decided upon the VGS because of several factors - 1. I don't have the time required for the lapband's constant maintenance, also have known several that have had it break, etc... . 2. The RnY - in my opinion - is just too evasive for me, i don't want my stuff re-routed and useless parts left in that have the potential to still cause problems down the road.

I am just now starting this process, have my consultation on 2/2/11 with Dr. E. Wilson and will go from there.

Meanwhile, my little sister had this same procedure done 11/2010, and is doing extremely well, and are a great support for each other as we are really close.

I am excited to take this journey, to follow the "yellow brick road" to a new me, inside, and out.

I have been thinking about doing a weightloss surgery for years....I've decided 2011 is the year for me as well. I too have been under a great amount of stress, also helping with care for my father who in the last two years has had severe health problems that have been dehabilitating for him....he's wants me to do this in the worst way, as does the rest of my family....I want to be healthy and I want to be here for my children...i am so happy to have found this support group:)
