After MANY years of dieting, losing and re-gaining, I started to think about WLS. I spoke to some family members who were in the medical field and also discussed it with my PCP (he gave me the name of good surgeon). I decided to try it on my own one last time. I said if I don't do it this time I will have to have surgery or face dieing way too young or being way too sick for the rest of my life.I started watching what I was eating and walking. I then got the support of a friend who gave me the added push and encouragement I needed. I started a serious work out program 6 days a week and am thrilled that I've lost a total of about 145 lbs and I've met my original goal and now trying to lose an extra 15 lbs. I'm very glad I was able to do it this way.
The important thing is you should do whatever is going to work best for YOU!!
Good luck with your decision.

Hi!
Initially I lost about 35-40 lbs in a few months but then kind of came to a stop for about 2 1/2 years...I didn't re-gain the weight but I didn't lose more. Then in Nov 2007 I got serious again and I lost about 90 lbs in about 13 months. All in all I would guess it's taken about 15-18 months to lose close to 150 lbs. And now it will be a lifetime to maintain my loss........
