Here's the stats:

Weight at the info presentation, 223 lbs.

Now? I think less, but I don't know. I don't own a scale.

Testing is 9/6, surgery is 9/20.

This will be my 7th major surgery in my life, so I'm a pro. Not too worried at all.

Overall, I'm pretty healthy. The doctor can't find anything wrong with me. No diabetes, no high blood pressure, no sleep apnea, not even high cholesterol. I DO have a bad back though and losing weight will help with pain (car accident -I flew out back window when it flipped end over end). I'm approved through BCBSIL. All will be covered, as I have met my deductible already this year. I had a lumpectomy in Jan. and surgery on my septum in March (that was awful!!).

I feel good about doing this overall, I have no qualms about following instruction. I like Water and drink it all day anyway.

How did I get to 223? I'm over 40, have a sedentary job, plus a hysterectomy. Ugh. Over the last 6 years, the weight just slowly piled up. Right now, I'm excited and anxious to get this done!

@@Hretan01 Good luck! I should be around the same time (hopefully)! I agree 100% on the septum surgery! I've had 2 nasal surgeries and they are horrible! Post-op visits included!
