I started this process in July of 2007. Went to the orentation and on to the Life style calsses. I have always been overweight even as a child. Have tried to lose weight but gained back and even more.  In 2003 my OBGYN tested and found that I was diabetic. Went to my PCP and got started in changing my life. At which point I lost 84 pounds through diet and excersise. Only to stop the excersise and continued to eat as requested and put back on 42. While on a visit to my PCP she and I talked about Gastric and Band surgeries and I went home to get all the information I could on both. Talked with her again and she referred me to South SanFrancisco. With the Great help of the Baratric Department and Dr Stiles I made my choice. Went throught there GREAT program and here I am today 128 pounds lighter. Still working to keep my healthy lifestyle.
