Getting Closer to a surgery date

 I started this process in November 2010 weighing in a whopping 319.2lbs.  The heaviest I have ever been in my life.  I asked my pcp to refer me to the program to help me gain a healthier life.  I have really put all my efforts in doing what the program needed me to do.

  It hasn't been easy, but what is.. I started out not being able to walk 10 minutes without huffing and puffing.  I had trouble bending over to tie on my shoes, cutting my toenails and even shaving my legs.  As the months went by with weighing in, I started seeing the results.  I can walk 30-45min without feeling like I'm gonna pass out.  I can paint my toenails and shave my legs.  Well I can just imagine what I can accomplish being 100lbs lighter.  I just got the call yesterday saying I was approved for surgery and a call today that I will be called for the consult meeting with the surgeon.  Thanks for letting me rant, it's just really sinking in that it is really gonna happen for me...
