I just joined this forum because I was so excited today when I finally got my date for surgery which will be Friday April 13.

My top weight was 509.8 and I am down to about 440 now.. I had been closer to getting into the 300's last year but when they increased my insulin, the pounds followed me back! I am ready to get healthy!

I have type II diabetes, lymphedema, COPD, arthritis, sleep apnea and of course I am super morbidly obese. This will all be changing soon, one pound at a time!

Congratulations on getting your date!

Welcome! Congrats on getting your day. Mine is April 16th. Happy you can join us here on this forum. Keep us posted
