Hi i'm pretty new to this board and never noticed this specific group untill now. A little about me. I'm 26, married, one child. When i went to my consult I weighed 374lbs. I now weigh about 360-363 lbs, depending on the time of day. My insurance has an exclusion in it so i was luckily able to be financed. My pre op appt is March 10th and they told me to expect surgery with in 2-4 weeks of that appt. I'm glad to have found a place where some of us have a little more than 80 lbs to loose. I'm not even sure how much I need to loose. 200 at least. So I look forward to going on my journey and would appreciate any support and guidance you all have to offer.

Thank you all!
