Last month attended an information seminar, and last week had my first dr appt. I weigh 256, 5'3" lots of weight to loss.. Lots of tests scheduled in the next 30 days. Working to make small changes. Some days I'm a little overwhelmed/anixous about the testing and getting the insurance approval.

    Congrats on starting down the path! I was where you are back in October, 5'2" and 251 lbs. Last week I finally got my date scheduled - April 22nd. There are lots of hoops to jump through but it's all worth it. Just take baby steps and feel free to friend me if you want to stay in touch.

    HI! Congratulations on making a choice to be healthier! I had gastric sleeve on 11/12/13 and as of this morning have lost 60.3 pounds. It has been a great experience and even the challenges have been worth the while. I just joined a gym yesterday so that I can start to do weights and tone my body. I am not a fanatic about any of it, but I was ready to make a change. The next thing I want to do is return to Overeaters Anonymous and join the monthly bariatric support group here. I am determined to do this and not look back. I think that one of the secrets is to be clear in your mind about why you want to do this. It certainly helps to have a goal.Good luck and feel free to friend me and ask any question you like.
