My husband, two sons, and myself are morbidly obese.  We live a fast paced lifestyle, and are always eating on the run with fast food. I had a long talk with my husband, and together we agreed that we did not want to set a bad example for our sons and drastic changes needed to be made.  We wanted to make permanent healthy lifestyle change.  The four of us visited a bariatric surgeon, who recommended the vertical sleeve gastrectomy for all of us.  I had the surgery first, followed by my husband, then our sons.  Well I’m happy the surgery was a success for us all.  All of us are well o our way to our weight loss goals.  Healthy eating is a permanent part of our lives!
