hello! My name is Seren. I'm 21 and a full-time college student.
My mom came home yesterday talking about this girl at her work who took out pics of her and no one even knew it was her. They got onto the discussion of WLS. Mom was telling me that this girls insurance covered it, but you have to be 100 lbs overweight (I am 5'5", 240lbs, with a BMI of around 42 or 43), and have health issues (syndrome in my knees from carrying around all this weight, and Diabetes runs in my family).
Now I'm curious. I'd like to hear the good, the bad, and the ugly. Weight Watchers worked for me at one time. It took me a year to lose 35lbs!! And then I gained that back. Now, I've tried WW again and for some reason (stress, I'm sure), it's just not working. I feel myself getting depressed again and that's not where I want to be.
Does anyone have any advice? (I know, dumb question here, right??) I'm not even sure what kinds of surgeries there are. I did notice by glimpsing through the other threads here that there must be at least two different kinds.
Thanks!
Seren
