I have been obese since I was 13. I became disabled in 2005 which made exercize difficult as my pain level is always awful. My thyroid had to be removed due to Papilary Carcinoma (Thyroid Cancer) and after the surgery my weight just climbed. Things were going from bad to worse and so I made the decision to do WLS. My highest weight was 253. I'm at 215 now. My surgery was Jan 24, 2007. I'm losing slowly but steadily. I have had no complications from the surgery. I still struggle with many health issues but am hopeful that the weight loss will help.
I'm glad that a friend told me about this site and I'm looking forward to getting to know people and sharing experiences.
I began a video blog about a week before the surgery and it's current so if anyone who is about to have WLS would like to view it, just let me know!
