Two years ago, I decided to embark on the bariatric challenge. I was 27 years old and had reached 250lbs. and I was very uncomfortable in my own skin. I had tried unsuccessfully to lose weight with just about every program on the market. After doing research I elected to have the Vertical Sleeve Gastrectomy, and it totally changed my life. Weight loss surgery has been an excellent tool to change my life, it is not a cure-all but it has helped me to be more in tuned with my body and what it needs to reach my ideal weight.
