Hi Jaz,
I am 5’7 , 235.8 with a BMI of 37.88. I am going through the beginning phase also. Had my first Surgery visit, did labs, just have a couple more thing to do. I also have high blood pressure. I tried so many different things before choosing surgery, all would work for a while but I would gain the weight back. I know this is the best decision for me!!!! I wish you all much success!!!!
