If you do choose weight loss surgery, it may be a long road just getting there. Some get to it faster than others, but for me it was 10-11 months from beginning to end. Of course once you commit to the idea that you're going for it, you want the surgery to be YESTERDAY, but you may hit some bumps and obstacles--primarily with insurance. If you do go for it, I hope it's a smooth ride... just remember that if it's not, don't give up hope. Fight for it and have a doctor that'll fight for you. I did, and it all worked out in the end!
I'm 2 weeks post-op and looking forward to my new life. It's like becoming a parent--life-changing and permenant, but well worth it.
