4/12/2008 - My story goes way back. I have been heavy most of my life. I graduated high school at 5'2" and 175 pounds. I have gone up and down to many times to count. Now my knees and legs are really bothering me, and I have high blood pressure. I have finally been approved for a surgical evaluation, then will wait for surgical approval. I have just finished a medical fast and am starting my journey for approval for weight loss surgery. I hope all goes well. I am scared and excited at the same time. When I started the fast I weighed 285, and am currently down to 235. I have my first appointment with the medical doctor next Tuesday. I have an appointment with the surgeon the following week.
