I've spent my life trying every diet known to man in an effort to lose weight - Jenny Craig, OA, Optifast, South Beach, Weight Watchers, etc. I have lost a lot of weight (192 lbs at the most through Optifast) and gained a lot of weight back. I'm ready for a healthier life so I've decided to pursue weight loss surgery. Join me as I move forward with an open mind and hopeful heart.
