I have finally quit lurking in the shadows, reading and gleaning information from a distance.  I decided it's time to (wo)Man Up!  I am ready for this process.  I have done my homework and I am on my way to a new, healthy me!  I deserve it!

I've spent years and years taking care of my children - looking after my chronically ill husband - and now it's my turn!  I am gonna take care of me!  By September I should be able to satisfy the 6 month physician supervised diet and unless I lose a ton between now and September, my BMI alone is enough to qualify me for the surgery.  I also have sleep apnea, joint pains, and a host of other issues (some mild, some not so mild).

So where do I go from here?  What should I be doing now to get ready for the surgery consult?  Any advice would be appreciated.
