Hi Everyone - This is my first thread

[Texasgirl1966 0]

Today is my first thread on here and it is also my 42nd birthday. I am 5'1" and I weight 217 lbs. My BMI is 40.2.

I have gone through 5 of my 6 month medically supervised weight loss program. I have high cholesterol and have developed high blood pressure because of my weight. I have chosen a hospital and surgeon. I have an appointment with the surgeon, nurse, and financial agent on September 9th at the hospital and an appointment with the psychologist on September 12th. I am ready to proceed and get the date for my lap band surgery. I am miserable carrying around all this extra weight and am ready to begin the next step of being a healthier, happier me.

I hope you had a wonderful birthday today Gina! Congratulations on beginning a new and healthier lifestyle. I certainly understand the burden of carrying around extra weight. I was banded Tuesday and am still a little sore right now but I am looking so forward to this next year. We can do it together!
