Hi, I'm Val and live in Western Wisconsin. I am 53 and have struggled with my weight ever since I can remember. I am currently at my heaviest ever. I've tried just about every diet out there, including WW and a program through Midelfort Clinic. I lost the weight with them, but was never able to maintain the weightloss. I'm just starting this bypass journey and I've looked into the GLP-1 injections, but even with insurance, they are not within my budget. My sister had gastric bypass and it has been successful for her. I'm hoping for the same.
