My story is similar to many others...
I was a pudgy baby, a "pretty plus" child, and slid into obesity through my teen years.
I started my first diet around the age of 10, and have done every weight loss system/program under the sun. I've lost and regained hundreds of pounds over my life time, but always found myself back in the 250-275 range.
I started my WLS journey in March 2008 by attending a seminar for Fresh Start Bariatrics with Dr. Myers. I was impressed with the program and got on board. I quickly had my first visit and laid out my "pre insurance" work. My insurance requires 6 months with the dietician, so I started that right away. My first month was an eating disaster, but I've slowly picked up new habits.
In October I was approved for the surgery and scheduled for 11/17/2008.
