Thanks. Had my 1st appt today. Nurse did a quick exam, measurements, and asked a bunch of medical questions. Met the laison who handles all the paperwork. She was great...actually called all the necessary drs and made my appointments for me. Labs, psych, endoscopy, ultrasound, pulmanologist, cardiologist, nutritionist, vascular, and appt with my actual surgeon. Was nice to walk out of there and have appts all set.

Been lurking about a year. Great site. Finally got the balls to start the process. Been debating for past yr n a half. Its time. Graduated hs at 180 lbs n have put on at least 10 lbs a year since. Im 40 now n feel like crap at 400 lbs. Im nervous n scared but ready. Feel like ive missed so much over the past 20 yrs cuz of my weight. Want my life back n go back to old me.
