SusiQ

My name is Susanne, I'm 38 years old and recently moved from Washington,DC to Ramstein Germany, which is my husbands new and last Duty station and my hometown!lol. So .. I've found this site doing a little research on WLS. If someone had told me 20 years ago, that one day I'd be desperate enough to consider WLS I would have laughed but hey here I am. I'm curious about the Band because it seems to be the least invasive form of WLS. I've tried most diets with the usual yo-yo effects, in 2005 I managed to lose 65 lbs and since then gained it all back and then some, so currently i weigh 229lbs at 5'5. I have most symptoms of PCOS, minus the diabetes, and in order to control that I was put on BCP which added 30lbs in only a few months. My blood pressure is through the roof and I get tired so easily which is the reason why I'm considering drastic measures.. I used to be the mom that did everything with her kids and now I feel I'm a great disappointment to them b/c I'm so down all the time. I'm looking forward to learning and would like to thank everyone here for sharing!
