Guest guest Posted April 4, 2004 Report Share Posted April 4, 2004 Hi , I too am new to this list. And welcome to the group. I joined a while back and I just love it here. I too am going to have the surgery. I am 5 foot and 6 1/2 in tall. And I weight about 300 pounds. I have gotten up to 325 and yes it is embarrassing when I can't fit behind my seat on my bus (I am a bus driver). I also have diabetes, I don't have high blood pressure now but, at one time I did. And I have sleep apnea where I too wake up and can't breath. I have had 4 back surgeries and now my back is still killing me with pain. I can't walk very far or sit very long without having lots of pain. I have irregular heart beat too. I have just now gone to my Dr. and he is going to get appointment with a surgeon from Seguin, Texas and I will know more about that on Monday. And I will let you and the rest of the group know when it will be. Oh, yes my hubby is against me having this surgery as he thinks that I will die on the table. But, then I could dye of a heart attack too of being too big. But, I told him I am doing this for me not for him. So, keep me updated when you will have surgery. Take care, PS I hope that I can have my surgery this summer so I can get better when time comes to go back to school this fall that way I wont lose any time. > Message: 4 > Date: Sun, 4 Apr 2004 12:44:58 -0700 (PDT) > > Subject: Introduction > > I want to say hello to everyone and introduce myself to all of you.
