 Well, 
I had my first appointment on today. Dr. Fuzz and his resident, Dr. Buckley were great. The staff that I met, Tina and Mellita were awesome. I had to change my goal today. I am currently 349 pounds at 5 feet and 10 inches height. My BMI is hovering around 49-50.  I have been exercising, but I know my problem is portion control. 

I am back on the wagon. I have my appointment for the nutritionist and for the exercise physiologist. I am excited regarding my journey; however, I know I have alot of work to do. 

 Hi Everyone,
I went to the seminar tonight. Met my surgeon, Dr. "Fuzz" Hernandez. I spent the past 10 years researching all the procedures and the meeting was great. My initial consultation with Dr. Fuzz has been moved to tomorrow 8/9/2012 at 8:30am. I am still excited and realize indeed this is my chosen path.  

I took my before pictures today, but will wait and put them up when I am comfortable. I am not really fond of pictures because of my weight and appearance; however, I realized that I needed to do this as a part of my journey. CP

 I have been considering WLS for the past 2 years. For the past 30 years (since I was in the 4th grade), I have dealt with obesity. I have lost and re-gain, lost and re-gain weight my entire life. I have been on every diet you can think of and have been on all the medications. 

I have had many reservations regarding WLS; however, I finally completed all of the paperwork and will see Dr. "Fuzz" Hernandez on August 28 for my initial consultation.

I will attend my first seminar on today (August 8). 

I am excited regarding taking these steps; however, I am also very concerned about the process.
