Hi. I'm 35 years old and have finally decided, after hemming and hawing for several months to go ahead and pursue having weight loss surgery. I've been overweight my entire life, have tried several diets - the latest being the Atkins trend several years ago. I lost about 110 pounds and had another fifty to go, until I started gaining it all back (and then some). I now need to lose 200+ pounds. Why do I do this to myself? I guess that's a question for the psych eval. Haven't done much yet but attend a seminar by Dr. Chebli - he was wonderful, by the way. So - I'm on vacation next week and after that I'll start dealing with insurance and doctors. Honestly, I'm scared to death. I think it'll probably be a year at least before I can actually have the surgery, but that will give me time to get my head wrapped around what life will be like post-surgery. You know, I feel pretty good just writing down in public (even to a bunch of anonymous user profiles!) that I'm really going to do it. I'll keep you posted on my progress!
