New to community
Hi, y'all. I am new to the community (just joined last night).
I am considering WLS (leaning toward the sleeve but keeping my options open) because I weigh 348 lbs at 5'8" and I've tried and tried to lose weight and just don't seem to be able to. I've changed my diet, I've exercised, and I might lose 10 lbs or so, but it doesn't stay gone. I have no aspirations to be model-skinny, but I would love for the number on the scale start with a 1 and the number in the dressing room to be under 20. (Right now I wear a US 24-26.)
I'm going to an information seminar about WLS at a local hospital on Tuesday the 13th, so we'll see if they'll take my insurance and if this is even possible for me.
Right now, I'm just checking things out.
