You are right. It is not their business! I came to the decision about surgery when I had tried every diet known to man and failed over and over. Sure, I lost some weight, but it always came back. My surgery for a VSG is on 7/25/17. This has been quite a journey. Over 6 months. Started with the insurance and received approval right away! I have comorbidities like, high blood pressure, pre diabetes and fatty liver (which are all supposed to reverse with this. My starting weight was 315 and I am 4 days into the pre surgery liquid diet for 2 weeks (aaaaaaahhhhh!) and I am already 300! so that is positive reenforcement! I want to get to 150 and we shall see!!! Are you planning any plastic surgery? I think a tummy tuck will be something I will save for. You can't do any surgery until you are at or almost at goal weight 1 to 2 years down the line. I had cesareans for my 2 children and they say that makes the tummy tuck easier. Also upper arms and loose skin. I am swimming every day and after surgery will do the treadmill. Wish me luck!
