Current weight (and heaviest) 275 lbs. I am 5' 6.5" and have a bmi of 43. I have had an avg. bp of 177/91 weekly for about 6 months which is now down to 155/90 since getting on blood pressure meds about 3 weeks ago. Just had a bunch of blood work done and its BAAAAD....high cholesteral (for which I am now on a daily medicine for) and I have high triglycerites and a bunch of other bad stuff. I am not pre-diabetic nor am I diabetic YET. I have already had a blood clot in a leg this past year. I have sleep apnea and can only "breath" when sleeping on my sides and I prefer to sleep with a fan blowing on my face to help push the air in as well as keep my body cool, which seems to overheat regulary since the weight gain. Both my legs and feet are pretty swollen on a regular basis and I get winded going up two flights of stairs. I am looking into sleeve gastrectomy to help me be healthy again.
