Well it is official on dec 11th I am going under the knife. For me it was prettty quick. I m 6'3" 335 lbs my insurance aproved me within 1 week the whole process took about 4 months start to finish mostly due to the wait time between doc visits. I have been going to the gym and getting ready no soda or cigarettes in about 1 week. My goal weight is 230 by the end of next year and then try to get down around 200 in the end. I am 27 and finnally starting to feel like I have a chance to be a normal weight. ...... Anyway thanks for the support.
