Hello. 51 y/o, 4'11, lower extremity edema, no comorbity, and weight fluctuates between 220 and 210 lbs. After giving birth, I have attempted to lose weight for almost 20 years with little success. The best I have done was lose 45 lbs in 3.5 months due to an event I was in three years ago. Thereafter, I slowly gained weight and when I hit 50 perimenopause reared its ugly head, no cycle for almost nine months, and 30 lb weight gain. I have tried Phentermine, Keto, HCG, IF, and restricting calories while drinking plenty of water and going to the gym. Maybe a loss of 10 -12 lbs and then I gain it all back.
I'm tired of yo-yo dieting and I want my life back. My very good friend had VSG after seeing her family members having good results. I am in the research phase because I am tired of my back, knees, and feet (swelling) hurting. My fingers are attempting to get stiff as well. Jogging up the stairs causes me to sit and take a few breaths. My thighs feel extremely heavy. I'm ready for a positive change. I want to be around for myself and child. Both my parents have experienced one of the following: stroke, high B/P, heart attack, liver problems, and leukemia. I refuse to be next. I'm taking charge of my health and vowing to live a loooonnnnngggg healthy life. Thanks for letting me vent. I welcome all suggestions and advice. Best wishes to all of you living a your healthy life.
