I've been overweight all my life. Have been on every diet, tried every gadget and trick, and lost weight, but then gained it all back. My best successes were with Weight Watchers in 1995 (137 lbs), and then again in 2001, where I had a non-adjustable band which helped me lose over 300 pounds in 5 years. Unfortunately, the band had to be removed in 2006 due to stomach ulcers and band erosion. I've since gained back 150 pounds and am scheduled to have the DS in 3 weeks! I chose this particular surgery because I plan on this being my last WL surgery. I know too many RNY'ers who have gained much of their weight back. My ultimate dream is to be in a position to work with others who are on this lifelong journey, and am currently working on completing my masters in counseling.
