I have been dragging my feet on posting an introduction, so I apologize!

My name is CC and I'm 38 female in Central Texas.

I have committed to VSG surgery for December 15, 2016.

I have always been bigger but not always overweight. I allowed people to tell me I was "too big" and I didn't protect my self esteem.

I became complacent and lazy, and failed to address issues that led to being greatly overweight as I got older.

The truth is I will always be big, but I desire to no longer be morbidly obese. I vow to never be over 400 lbs again, and I know there are others betting the challenge of higher #s in being overweight.

Let me share some basic stats:

Highest recorded weight:427 lbs

Weight at 1st VSG consultation appmt: 412 lbs

Current weight (as of 11/29/16) 388 lbs

Height 6'4" (not an error, I am a very tall woman).

My goal weight is 225 lbs.

My surgery date is December 15th, 2016 for VSG.

I know that I have a unique figure / stature, but I welcome connecting and sharing this special part of my journey with kindred spirits, no matter what your personal stats or background might be.

Awesome this is what I've been searching for in my research, some one with my body type. (Everything's bigger in tx I guess lol -Houston here) I'm 33 and 6'3 current weight around 360lbs. I don't have a date yet because I'm relying on my tax refund to come in and I will go to Tijuana for the surgery (there's a dr across from Eagle Pass tx that is awesome but just out of my price range) I would love to follow your journey seeing I will be about 2 months behind you!

6'4" wow! That is pretty awesome! I have an employee who is 6'10" and is about as big around as a pencil. Being a short guy it always blows me away to see someone tall.

@@Large2Ncharge, thanks for the post! You have a fascinating height! I think that's cool. I'm glad you have your surgery date and your losing weight. Sent blessings and prayers your way. Keep us posted on your journey.

Large2NCharge Im on the opposite end of your height spectrum. Im 4'11" and 218. I had my sleeve on Dec 5 and hoping to reach my goal of 128by the end of 18 months. My doctor says 150 but thats not good enough in my opinion so Im reaching higher than he is. Good luck with your journey and Ill be watching for your posts.

I hope it all goes well for you. Tall women have a special beauty all their own. I will look forward to seeing how you make out.
