I am new to the site and decided I need to research both options for weight loss surgery. I have battled my weight all my life and now it is catching up with me big time (excuse the pun). I have had trouble controlling by blood pressure, (3 medications) I am pre diabetic, and my feet and knees are always sore. It is time for me to take control of my life and I hope that weight loss surgery will help me to get there. I have recently joined the gym and am really enjoying it. It is hard work but it feels good. I have 150 pounds to lose and feel at 45 now is the time! I have met with Dr. Amson once and am waiting for appointments with all the specialists. I am excited to join the site and learn more about everyone's experiences. Thanks...chat with you soon.

Hi Barb, How are you? I am nearly 35 years old...Recently married and gaining weight by the buckets. I have had weight issues my whole life, 20 or more, but now I need to lose about 140 lbs as well. I just wanted to let you know that there are more of us out here trying to figure out how to save our life and sanity. If you get any insight let me know. Have a good day. Jenny
