I have been overweight off and on throughout my entire life. I had tried literally everything with some successes and failures...and yet here I am again.  I had been thinking of weight loss surgery for years, as with most things in life money was an issue with no insurance to cover the expenses at that time. Now here we are today and blessed to be able to have the insurance to cover the procedure. I am 4 days post-surgery today.
