Being Huge Hurts my Soul....but when I think about what's to come....I have so much joy...

Hey sisters...(and brothers)

I'm doing a lot more posting instead of browsing on OH now that I am down to the wire.
I just have to say that being above three hundred for the last year and a half has really done something to me.
I was always around 220 to 250...but stress and issues from last year attributed to my size.
I see how my not wanting to do activities affects my children and marriage...and it hurts me.

But....I can honestly say that now I see the light to the horizon and it makes me feel soooooooo good!!!!

I just wanna shout it out and tell everyone - but not the specifics of me having and getting surgery...just the fact that I have this intervention that will hopefully enable me to do all the things that I have longed to do...but just haven't been able to.....

Congrats to everyone who has had their intervention...and to those of us who have made the steps to do so.....

Just wanted to put that out in the air!!! BTW is anyone from Maryland or on FB? I find this site to be kind of cumbersome...coupled with the fact that I'm a FB addict.....

we live in the same neck of the words.

hi neighbor 

Hi Neighbor, and looks like we are in the same group of doctors....How is your success story coming?

I was going to go with your doctor, but my gf and my coworked both used Singh and I felt cool with him.....

Did you do a sleep study? That's my VERY last thing to do this Saturday and then what's next...i'm submitting paperwork...

so far i'm down about 70lbs and i got cut on april 7th.

i did a sleep study about a year before surgery and it was EXTREMELY uncomfortable.  they told me to sleep like i usually slept....yeah right, i usually sleep connected to tubes with some fool waking me up every half hour for some nonsense....

Congrats and wishing you much success on your journey.

hello there!  Welcome and congrats on your plan for a whole new you!  This is an exciting journey, enjoy the ride

I can totally agree and feel where you are coming from especially where you say being over weight is affecting you enjoying life. I was 175 lbs up until the age of 25. And I am very close toi hitting that 300 mark. That was not cool. I found it theraputic to tell people that I was having the surgery. But I am praying for you all goes well.I am in Balitmore so if you support I will be there for you. I will be haivng my surgery next monday so if I can help you in any way please feel free and let me know.

Congratulations and enjoy the ride!!
