At 44, I now weigh 540 and this excess weight has taken its toll on my joints, back, hips and the problems are not getting any better.I joined this site to get some information on the in's and out's of WLS. I come from a big boned family and began gaining weight after I turned 22, when I weighed about 195. I played football throughout high school and college, so I worked out on a regular basis and was in pretty good shape. I went in to restaurant management and the long hours and the free food began to make its mark. I tried the insurance route but after several denials I had to go to for surgery on September 5th. I enjoy the positive vibe that everyone adds to this website.
