Um I there yet!

I meant "Am I there yet" lol

Hello, I'm new to this however, I have a few comments and questions. First let me tell you I really like this site, other than me YouTubing, researching, reading...I lm ready mentally. I just decided to have weight lost surgery as of April, my coordinator has submitted my paper work to the insurance company already and said I will be ready for surgery one day in June 2013, that's quick, after reading that it took most people a little over a year. My coordinator seem so confident that I will receive a yes, my insurance also covers 100%, that's a Blessing.

So, I've gotten clearance from the psychologist, Pulmonologist, Cardiologist, my PCP. I am scheduled for stress test and endoscopy, I guess the last step would be to meet with the surgeon again and the nutritionist. I know Um making the right decision because of my health. My husband is supportive as well as my adult daughter.

Sorry let me introduce myself, I am 42 year old female, married with one adult child, my last weight in was 229, I'm 5'3, I'm looking to weight between 135 to 145, I'm mainly doing this because I recently had a few health problems due to my weight, I been taking blood pressure pills since I was 26, I recently been diagnosed with gout (oh so painful), I just suffered with Pulmonary Embolisim, I have GERD, I have arthritis in my left knee, in other words, I need help, I'm too young to have all these ailment. Your comments and suggestions are welcomed.

Ps...ready to be a loser.
