WOW!  I never in my life thought I would be posting such personal information about myself, yet alone my weight. 

I've been on the diet wheel all my life and it has it's up's ( to my current weight as the highest) to the lows when I got to 304.  I tried till I gave up to get to 299 and even lost my will.  A lot had to do with my relationship at the time and my work life.  

I've made a promise to myself I will never let myself get like this again.  And my SELF and MY WEIGHT will be my first priority.  In turn I will say I'm a " Pleaser Person" by nature and always look out for my few close friends and family. In most cases I always put myself last and make sure everyone else is taken care of.  

When over the past year my depression has made my bed the safest place in the world.  I sorted out the sources of the depression with my Dr's and worked through them. And found that living in the main stream " GAY" world forces some bad things on people.  The Gay world is focused on image, grooming, body and other petty and shallow things I find people should not look for in a person.  I'm ready to get up and MOVE ON UP!

Now after a LOT of research and meeting with my Family Doctor Robert Wilson, I have elected to move forward with the surgery. 

At this point I have meet with Dr Peters in Newark and was VERY pleased with him and the staff ar CRIAS. From the moment I walked in the door I felt as though I had meet so many new friends.  Everyone was very nice and made me feel very comfortable. Not to mention I did not have to wedge myself in a super small chair...LOL 

I've had my sleep study's completed and star with the machine this wee. Come to find out the reason I don't sleep at night is because I gast for air A LOT!  

So now with my Completion and sign off from the pulmonary Doctor and the Cardio Doctor I move on to my life skills portion.  Dr Peters and I set a goal for the last week of December to Mid January for my completion because it's a slow time at work and I can be free to take time off. 

I look forward to talking to others about my journey and make new friends.
