Hello, My name is Lisa.
Just joined today.
I'm another person that has battled the will's of too much eating, which entails the battle of the bulge. I'm 45 and have been Thin a handful of times in my life. The first 35 years was on my own. the last 10 years was with assistance of the Lap Band and then a conversion over to Gastric Bypass. The Lap Band did not work for me. Had many complications and I was self pay with both procedures so very very costly to say the very least. Once converted to the Bypass it worked! I lost over 80 pounds and I felt amazing! however over the last 3.5 years I've gained the weight back. I'm very dissappointed in myself for allowing myself to put the weight back on. I am now looking in to one of two things. The Endoscopic Sclerotherapy or having the Rose procedure done. I'm about a year out before I can afford either procedure as once again I will be a self pay patient.
I was hoping that those of you who have had any of these procedures could tell me your experiences and is it worth the money? Right now I'm researching and for me this takes some time, I research locations, doctors, pricing, and choose carefully. Until then, I've been drinking my "Unjury" protein shakes and making healthier choices for myself which isn't so easy!
thanks for reading, and I hope you each have a lovely day!
Lisa
