I started having weight problems when I was in 8th grade. My father warned me if got any bigger I wouldn't be able to purchase clothes of the rack. I think at the time I was almost 6 ft and 206 lbs. Over the following summer I lost 40 lbs. and through my high school years I was able to maintain that weight with watching what I ate & exercise. Shortly after High School Graduation I began gaining weight Within 2 years I was up to 260 lbs. I remember getting a gym membership around that time and losing 40 lbs. The weight didn't stay off for long. I noticed that without working out & exercise I couldn't even maintain my weight. I became a Police Officer when I turned 21. Fitness was more important because of my profession so I dieted more often. I recently turned 39 and over the last 18 yrs. I have lost over 100 lbs. and gained it back nearly a dozen times. Every time I lost a significant amount of weight I felt like this time I am going to keep it off, but it always came back. Another Police Officer had the DS Surgery and I was amazed at how much weight he was able to lose and how he kept it off. I started my research on the different types of Bariatric surgeries and decided the DS was best for me. At the end of June this past year I attended a seminar at St. Vincent Bariatric Center in Carmel where they discussed the different types of surgeries and doctors. Knowing I wanted the DS I chose Dr. Inman. After a brief consultation and Inman's office checking with my insurer, I was told I had to go on 6 month supervised weight loss with Dr. Gomez. I immediately got started a began jumping though the hoops to get the DS Surgery. After 6 visits, Psychological Test, Support Group Meeting, and a Nutrition Consultation I got the call from Dr. Inman's office saying I had been approved by my insurance for the DS Surgery.
