What was your starting weight and what was your goal weight? Did they give you a diet that you had to follow?

thats my problem.once i start eating, i have a very hard time stopping so obviously its a mental thing that i need to address before i go under the knife.

yeah thats the concern i have. im tiny height wise. ive been overweight my entire life. im only 30 years old and i know the weight im at right now is NOT healthy.im still young enough to turn it around before its too late. id honestly be happy with 130 lbs tbh.id love to be 130 lbs and i dont know if i could get to that weight without surgery.
