Hi Everyone! I am well on my way to starting this journey. I had my initial consultation with my surgeon today. CW: 255lbs, Height: 5'4" BMI: 43.8 Co-morbidity: Sleep apnea, I also struggle with PCOS and GERD. My goal weight is 160 lbs. I have researched, watched youtube videos, read forums, googled information, etc. etc.; however, this post is my first time actively participating in an online forum....so here it goes!
