I have struggled with weight since I was a child. I have tried all the diets and regained everything back plus. I am fortunate that I do not have any ongoing medical problems such as diabetes or high blood pressure....I just cannot lose the weight and I decided to do the surgery as a preventive measure. I do have problems with my back and knees hurting. I want to do things that I feel I have missed out on. I have 4 grandchildren that I dont want to get too far ahead of me. I loved to rollerskate and did so for many years then the weight prevented me so that is one goal I want to do. My daughter does roller derby and she said cool I could join her team NOT!!! I just want to skate. I have a grown son and daughter and a wonderful supportive fiance who is with me every step. I have a friend that had bypass 4 years ago and she wanted me to do it then, but I wasn't ready. Then there was a seminar just 5 min from my house ( I took that as a sign), went to it, liked what I heard and liked Dr. Rodriguez. Since this was a self-pay things moved very quickly and I am scheduled to have vsg on March 20. I have to do a 10 day liquid diet and I never thought I was going to make it...I have just 3 more days left and one success down and the rest to go....If I could do this I know the surgery will be what I need to reach my goal.
