Stapled Stomach Leads To Freedom

In 1996, I was 4′11″, 23 and 396lbs. I knew that if nothing changed I wouldn’t see 30. I tried every exercise, diet and diet pill…to no avail. After seeing a surgical weight-loss commercial, I got the phone book, called around and was able to make an consolation appt with a local doctor. My appt went well, I was a perfect candidate for a Vertical Banded Gastroplasty (Stomach Stapling, not bypass). The date was set 7/6/96. Wow, was that the best thing I ever did or what, now I am healthy, happy, and regret nothing. For without the surgery, I wouldn’t be here now, that I am sure of!
