I am new here from NH

Hey all i am Laura i am 28 years old and finally trying to start this process. I have been overweight for as long as i can remember. In march 2011 i reached 401lbs my highest. With strict diet and exercise i managed to lose 61lbs on my own. It's been hard and i haven't been able to lose anymore really been struggling. I am looking into one of the gastric procedures i just don't know which one yet. I have an information session on oct 4th. As of right now i am 342lbs. I definitely meet the bmi requirements. I am finally needing to get this done for my young kids 6 and almost 8 and for myself mostly. I am getting diagnosed with new things all the time it seems related to my obesity. In  July 2012 it was obstructive sleep apnea that broke the camels back for me. I am 28 years old!!! Now i am wearing a mask and machine to bed every night. I also have hypothyroidism, Vit D deficiency, and elevated liver function tests which all i hear may be part of being obese. I already called the center that would be holding the surgery and have done over a year already of nutritionis****ched diets which i hope counts as well as the fact i already lost weight.

If all goes well since i already had the sleep study, etc all i need is ekg, stress test, and psychological exam... Hoping to join you all in this long journey to better health.
