I'm happy that more people are coming along on this post. We need to all stick together in this process ! ... I had my pulmonary appointment yesterday that was kind of pointless and a waste of a copay but tomorrow I do my ekg, chest X-ray, and neck ultrasound . Hopefully these appointments will be more helpful and not a waste of time and money .

Ig I never realized how big I was. This was a wake up call . Just knowing that I was so blind about my weight and height showed me that I had to do something asap.

I will be a mid January as well

My EKG is scheduled for the 11th of August .

I'm happy to see people that are around my timeline . I thought I was a loner . Lol

Yes . I want to lose about 30-40 so I can be closer to my goal weight after surgery

Lol totally a wise decision .

Yes it does seem far away but I'm hoping with doctors appointments and work that the time will go by fast and I will be on the losers bench in December.

Really !? , what part ?

I live in New Jersey .

I have not told my family besides my sister I don't plan on telling anybody else .

That's reminds me I thought I was 5'8 or 5'9 . Nope I'm 5'6 lol

Where are you located . I'm always on YouTube and here trying to grab all the info I can . I went to the doctor and I was sooo shocked to see how much I weighed and realized that this has to happen immediately! I'm 282 , I wrote on the paper that I was 265 !

That's really good . I have not started anything yet !!! I met with a nurse for a consultation last week and I'm scheduled to meet with the surgeon this week. With the 6 month wait from insurance Im hoping for late December not so much early January.
