Finally approved - March 6!

[algarf 5]

Just got approved for surgery on March 6!

I am very excited but also nervous (mainly about the anaesthesia and my chest; and pain afterwards!). I've never been under or had any surgery so don't know what to expect. My weight at the moment is nearing 500lbs so I am expecting the surgery to be tough.

But this is great news....I saw a candid picture that was taken of me yesterday and I couldn't believe that person was me and I was dumbfounded that I had gained so much weight and not even fully realized how big I've gotten, even though the number on the scale is the highest I've had in my life.

I can't wait to start my journey towards a more healthy me!

Wish me luck, all

What a small world! That actually makes 3 of us. Well, I offer up prayers for all 3 of us to make it through and see our way to success!
