New to board
I just wanted to stop in and say high. I've been lurking around OH for a couple of weeks. I was bumbed at first about the TN board I didn't think there was any traffic on it. Then I finally figured out how to get to the actual message board and an very happy to read about all the support that go's on here.
A little about me. I have always fought my weight since I can remember. In high school I was able to keep it down due to being so active. After high school I joined the military and they made you keep your weight down but I was always pushing the limits. After I got our of the military it seems like everytime I step on the scale my weight goes up. I'm now 6'2" and 345# I just found out I have sleep apnea but beyond that no other health issues. I have come to the point that I'm tired of caring all this weight and want to be around for my family and the first grandchild we just found out was on the way.
I attended 2 different seminars on WLS and have choosen Centennial as my center to have the surgery done. After reading up on all the surgeons I've selected Dr. Dyer. I have received my letter of recomendation from my PCP and the records but as luck would have it my company is switching health plans Jan 1 so I have to wait for all that to get set up so we can proceed.
Sorry so long but I do look forward to conversing with each of you and leaning on your through this journey.
Keep up all the great support.
