Thankfully it worked out that i was already off work that day, and my husband Mike was able to come with me to meet Dr. Hagen. I was very nervous and didnt know what to expect, so I was so grateful to have Mike with me. There were a few people in the waiting room, all women, and all bigger than me. I was honestly afraid that he was going to tell me that I wasnt big enough to have the surgery! Obviously that wasnt the case!!!We didnt have to wait long to see the doctor, which was nice. He weighed me in at 334 pounds. he told me that for my height i should weigh around 130 pounds (by the way I think thats complete bull!!!) He told me that a healthy BMI is between 18 and 22, and that my current BMI is 53. (anything over 30 is considered obese) That means I would have to lose upwards of 200 pounds to reach that weight. Dr. Hagen said he expects me to lose about 75% of my excess weight in the first year (150lbs) The most important question I had he answered before I was able to ask ... that I should have my surgery within a month of my last appointment (which as of right now is March 21st) So hopefully in May! Finally there is a light at the end of the tunnel!!!
