Hey there! 39 year old married father of four in Wisconsin and I'm going to have the VSG surgery in January 2011. This forum has been extremely helpful and I appreciate all of the honest opinions and everyone that has documented their experiences with the surgery.

I'm 6'0" and weigh 420 lbs, with a BMI of 58...tired of all the physical pain and ready to start living a different (better) life.

hi wiscosin - welcome - i'm a newbie too - my name is kathy - i'm 58, married w/one daughter and 3 delightfu smalll grandkids:o)

my story is probably same ol' same ol'. I am 5'3 weigt 235, and must lose 100 lbs. i'm so tired of being "so tired", being

out of breath, etc. you know the story. Like many, i have diabetes, high blood pressure and chloresterol, sleep apnea.

Surgery is supposed to signifanclly (msp!!!lolol) inprove problems, if not make some go away.

after my long wait, my surgery is finally about here - DECEMBER 7th - so very excited. little nervous, not about the surgery.

i'm an old timer with surgery these past 5 years. broke my femur 2 different times on the left leg, left knee replacement - and

after i lose maybe 30-40 lbs. the right knee will be replaced..

i enjoy these different sites too. nice chatting wiyou - take care - LiKaSuLeMa -kathy

Kathy:

Good luck! December 7th is around the corner. I am also excited and nervous. At 39, I have been overweight for the last 20 years, but I feel like I'm getting a good "jump" on my health. Please keep in touch and let me know how the surgery went.
