I have always prided myself as a "get it done" person, but losing weight was something that I simply needed help with. At 223lbs I was tired of the yoyo diets and needed something more permanent. I am so pleased that I had the surgery. I no longer have high cholesterol, high blood pressure or sleep apnea. I went from a 12-14 to a 8-10. I have lost almost 60 lbs so far! Life is too short to settle. Go for it! Sorry that I don't have before pics because I hated full body shots. now, I take them every chance I get:)
