September 21, 2007: I currently weigh 240 lbs. and stand 5' 2" (depending on whose measuring), sometimes I lose height inches down to an even 5 feet. I'm at the beginning of my surgery journey. I don't have a date yet set for surgery. I've had my initial consultation with Dr. Hixson at Adirondack Medical Center. He's recommended that I start losing weight, roughly one pound a week. I have my cardio, gallbladder, sleep apnea test, nutritional meeting, physical therapy meeting the second week of October. I'm about a third of the way through my Weight Loss Surgery book. My goodness, if I didn't know any better I would have thought Barbara Thompson stole my life and wrote a book about me, minus the successful surgery of course. I hope to have surgery as soon as I am allowed to by the doctors and the insurance company. The decision to finally do this feels like getting over the plateu of those last ten pounds.
