Hi and thank you for reading..I'm 51, single mom of 3, and have struggled with my weight for the past 20 years. I have decided to do this on my own, and only share my surgery with a couple of close friends (both recently had gastric bypass - RNY), my oldest daughter (22) and all of my new friends here on this site
I have my final weigh in tomorrow and will begin my 2 week countdown to having surgery on 21 July. Though not officially approved through insurance, my doctor has already scheduled me in order to synch kids on vacation while I'm at home recovering.
I thought I was set on having the VSG, but as time gets closer and I read more threads (creeping really, this is my first real forum as a user), I'm uncertain which surgery is best. Would love to have your thoughts. I'm 5'4", 215 lbs, HBP for 5 yrs, Hashimotos hypothyroid (20 yrs).
