    Please send me that information. Can I do you here with my email and all? I am ready to get back to having a life. Doing music again. Taking trips. Not having to worry about if I can go somewhere as I might not be able to get into someone’s car. Part of that is being so tall, but the weight definitely doesn’t help. I think what I’m looking forward to most is just doing things that seem normal to people that aren’t obese. Things like sitting in a booth at a restaurant. Flying on an airplane. Fitting in a normal sized car instead of only a dang suv. Shopping for clothes at regular places and being able to go up stairs and downstairs without gasping and panting. Im so ready to do this. I want to be active. I want to stop turning into my desk chair.

    Hey y'all - first timer here. I'm having my consult Wednesday. Getting this surgery scheduled has been more than a fiasco due to insurance and such. But finally its happening. I've let myself get to over 450. Thankfully, I'm 6'6 and I could kinda hide it when I wasn't 450, but now, I can't even wear 5xlt shirts without having my gut stick out the bottom. I hate going out in public. I've become a recluse. My dog is suffering because I can't exercise her like she needs to be right now - and its caused me a blood clot, and anuerysm, hypertension, and going anywhere with stairs is just a terrifying experience. I even dread walking down the hill 100 feet to get my mail as I know I'll be out of breath and gasping when I get back, sadly. I always ask specifically for a table at restaurants because I can't fit in booths - but I'm embarrassed to be even seen in public because I've let myself get to this point in my life. I'm 43, and I have the body of a 95 year old man whos been dead for 300 years. I have nobody to blame but me. I'm hoping to find some support and maybe even some accountability here - kind of a "comrades in arms" thing maybe. Anyhow, I'm not sure with all the surgeries and all I've had to rectify the abdominal anuerysm how its going to work. Anyone wanna be buddies in this?
