I have struggled with my weight for most of my life. The only time i was thin was during puberty, when I was growing alot. Over the last 20 years I dieted down to below 200lbs, 4-5 times, only to have the weight come back on once the diet was not my main focus. I got so tired of the diet yo-yo, I started exploring WLS as an option in 2006. I'm looking forward to having a new tool in helping me maintain a healthy weight.
