I've just begun my journey , I have participated in 1 week of 12 pre op classes,required by my insurance .I am very excited to finish up classes and schedule a surgery date.At this point i won't have surgery until July or August,and patience is not my strong suit. But I'm learning quickly this all has a time frame that I need to fit into. My highest weight is 264.4 . I am 52 years old. I have been reading alot of your post , and the encouragement is a blessing.I plan to see this through .

congratulations on starting your journey to a healthier you! The time will seem to go slow at first and then next thing you know the surgery is right around the corner. There is a lot of very useful information on this site and very helpful people. You will soon be on the losers bench with the rest of us!
