:w00t: Hey everyone!!! I've been checking out this board for a little while now, and now it's time for me to become a part of the posting!
I had my Consult today in Jax, FL with Dr. Baptista. I have to do the 6 month supervised weight loss stuff prior to surgery due to my insurance (BCBS FL). So I have all of my appointments set for the next 6 months! My basics are... I'm 22, starting weight/BMI is 214.5/40.5 :blushing: So he set my goal to 132lbs, which means I need to lose 82lbs! I was VERY disappointed to hear that because I've just let myself go... but at the same time, VERY happy that I qualified for this surgery!
