Im excited and scared at the same time. Pre weight is 340lbs and I'm 6'2" at the age of 38. I worry about my skin bouncing back, getting to small and look sickly.

I just heard from my surgeon's office yesterday. My first consult is in a week and a half!

Cute. I'm 6' tall and 35 yo. I do a lot of exercise. I lost over 75 Lbs. In 4 months, no hanging skin.

That's great to hear, glad everything is going well. When could you start exercising?

I'm right in the same world as you. I started out at 320 (I'm 6'2") and am 38 years old. I went on a diet and at my first appointment I was 305. I have had 3 weigh ins (3 left, next is in two weeks), and completed everything except the cardiology consult.

Good luck with your journey. It is a lot of work (the hoops they make us jump through), but I do see the end, and you will too.

Awesome, let's keep in touch with our journeys. I am looking to do surgery in Dec 2017 just because I have a school break then. I'm a school teacher in central NY.
