Hi! My name is GinaMarie and I am sure some of you will recognize me from the LoCarb board.
My DH Brian and I have decided to seriously consider WLS. I am 5 foot 4 and weigh 300 pounds. My BMI is 50. From what I have read, this qualifies me.
I have tried many, many programs and diets. Sometimes they work, sometimes they don't, but when I am done (or go off) I always gain back all the weight I lost plus some more!
My question really is how hard is the surgery on you, how awful do you feel afterwards? How long does it take to not feel awful? If I can't get my insurance to pay for it, how much will it set me back?
Any experiances that you can share will be great! I just started my research, so I have much to learn.
Thanks,
GinaMarie
