I am a Caucasian female, 30 years old. I am asthmatic and have IBS and sleep apnea.
The largest size I ever wore was a 24 3x and I was a size 18 2x when I went in for surgery.
I am 5'7" tall and my highest weight ever was 317 pounds with a BMI of 49.5.
I used Kaiser Permanente for surgery.
With Kaiser I was required to take a 12 week course in healthy eating habits and lose 10% of my weight to qualify for surgery.
After completing the course it took approximately 3 months to get in for surgery.
On the day of surgery, May 10th 2013, I weighed 279.
For the last few days I've steadily held a weight of 265.
Today is considered day 5 of recovery.
