    What made you decide to have VSG?

    I M going to be 65 in May. In Sept 2013 I deceided I needed help with my weight loss. I have tried fad diets, weight watchers, pills...they all helped short term. I would always gain back what I lost plus more. I had sleeve surgery on Dec 26, 2013. I am down 45 lbs. I had the surgery to help with pain in knees and hips from being overweight my whole life. I feel FANTASTIC!!! When I get home from work (I work retail), I can walk up my steps instead of pulling my self up. I have not had a moment of regret. It took me 4 yrs of research and soul searching to finally decide to have wls. The bypass scared the crap out of me because of personally knowing several people who did not do well with it, including one who passed away from complications. The sleeve is great. I am at the point of reintroducing real foods back in my life, there are challenges, but I know I can do this! Have at least another 60-70 to go. Worth every minute of it !
