HI I am new here

[savinggrace 6]

I have had the blood work, attended the seminar, attented the support group meeting, attended the doctors meeting group. Did my bloodwork, kind of odd that my blood work came back malnourished, so not sure what will go on from there. I have the psych evaluation this week. Then if that goes okay I call to make a pre-op appointment.

I am nervous and excited all at once. My friend back in 2005 had the gastric bypass and died 26 days after surgery, her organs shut down. This is the biggest reason I have been having a hard time. But now I have come to accept it. I need this. I am 5'6 260-265 (fluctuates). BMI 41.

I guess this is all for now. Thank you for sharing your information, it will help me out.
