Had my second preop visit on the 25th. Lost 13.5 lbs so far. Only about 160 or so more to go. Time is going by so fast. I just hope my asthma settles down before surgery, so that there are no issues.

WOW my theophylline is huge....I have trouble swallowing it now. Wonder if my lungs would survive me going off of it cause crushing or melting not an option been there done that it is nasty! lol

Hello my name is Angie, I am 39 years young from Pennsylvania. I have my first of 4 monthly appointments on July 18, 2011. I currently weigh 288 and 5' and have a BMI of 56. I have type II insulin dependent diabetes, high blood pressure, high cholesterol, non alcoholic fatty liver disease, asthma, edema of feet legs and ankles, and am in constant pain upon movement. starting Feb. 16, 2011 until June 3,2011 I have been hospitalized 13 times for my asthma and diabetes and other related issues including paralysis with unknown cause. Total days in hospital 63. I am currently on 12 different meds, and hate taking them. I am excited as well as nervous at same time. I have been following 1800 calorie diabetic diet for 4 years and no weight lost but none gained. I have recently had to file for Retirement Disability from my job. My asthma is to the point that one wrong fragrance I am in what the have labeled status asthmaticus. I only leave my house for Dr. appointments and quick grocery trips....... usually my kids run into the store not me. Thus my journey has begun...................
