I'm right there with you, I had a visit with my PCP and weighed in at 282 as well, I couldn't believe my eyes. I too am now starting my journey, meeting with the surgeon for the first time Aug 15th. I didn't want to waste this month so I went to my PCP and had her put me on a supervised diet, so next month whn i meet with the surgeon, I would be on mth 2 of the diet with four more to go. If all goes well I can have a January date. I can't wait.
. Hey there, where in NYC are you having it done. I decided on Lennox Hill Hospital. I just started my journey though. Meeting with the surgeon for the first time next month. I'm so anxious to have an actual surgery day.
