For 40 years I've struggled with my weight. Ever since I was about 13 I've been over weight. At about age 45 I was diagnosed with Type II diabetes, high blood pressue and high cholesterol. At age 53 I was diagnosed with sleep apnea. At 350 Lbs things looked kind of bleak. I 've tried diets all my life and I would simply "yoyo". I'd loose 10-20 only to gain 25-30 back. At 51 I decided to try exercise. I swam 3-4 times a week for 2 years and nothing changed. In the spring of 2012 still at 350 Lbs I decided that I had to take stronger measures. On Aug 27th 2012 I went in for Vertical Sleeve Gastrectomy (VSG - also known as Sleeve Gastrectomy) surgery.
My journey has begun...
