Hello everyone my name is Taisha I’m 45 and have been married for over 22 years. My weight loss story started sep.2013 i can't say that I’ve been heavy all my life just 15yrs of it when it started. after having children i picked up a lot of weight and as time went on i got really sick and was diagnosed with chf (heart failure) then came diabetes, high blood pressure, arthritis in my spine then depression and that's where my problem came in. i began to eat to keep myself calm when i became unable to work because of my back it got worse. What brought me here was i needed help my health is failing and i needed the weight off i tried everything i could think of and it became a yoyo effect. When i hit my highest weight of 256lbs i knew it was time to do something or i will not live long with my heart working so hard. i talked with a weight loss doctor in September 2013 i changed the way i ate and lost 30lbs on my own but i still need the extra help because I’m a stress eater. This Monday 3/14 i will see the doctor once again to find out what's the next step. I’m glad i found this site my husband is here for me but it's good to talk with someone who actually went through it or who is going on with it.

Good luck going ahead with the VGS, I am 73 & had mine 2/26. I had minimal pain & no problems with gas or nausea. I am doing 21 pounds since Ore-op diet & feel fear. Wishing you success

Hi! I am new to the site! I started my variate is surgery process 6 years ago with the plans to have bypass and again 5 years ago with the same plans but two deaths in my family made me decide that it was a sign! So 6 months ago I started again with the sleeve in mind and everything seems to be falling into place!
My 6 months are up and the info is being submitted to the insurance company hopefully today! My HW was 316. My SW was 278 (I actually lost 20 lbs before I started my 6 months) my CW is around 240. I have always been the famous yoyo dieter and I don't want to do that anymore!
I am an RN and it is difficult to tell my patients what to do to be healthy when I am overweight myself and come from a family who is also overweight!
I can't wait to have surgery and am currently looking at surgery the first week in April providing everything goes as planned!!
