I have been dragging my feet on posting an introduction, so I apologize!
My name is CC and I'm 38 female in Central Texas.
I have committed to VSG surgery for December 15, 2016.
I have always been bigger but not always overweight. I allowed people to tell me I was "too big" and I didn't protect my self esteem.
I became complacent and lazy, and failed to address issues that led to being greatly overweight as I got older.
The truth is I will always be big, but I desire to no longer be morbidly obese. I vow to never be over 400 lbs again, and I know there are others betting the challenge of higher #s in being overweight.
Let me share some basic stats:
Highest recorded weight:427 lbs
Weight at 1st VSG consultation appmt: 412 lbs
Current weight (as of 11/29/16) 388 lbs
Height 6'4" (not an error, I am a very tall woman).
My goal weight is 225 lbs.
My surgery date is December 15th, 2016 for VSG.
I know that I have a unique figure / stature, but I welcome connecting and sharing this special part of my journey with kindred spirits, no matter what your personal stats or background might be.
