Consult physician statement
You know that "Consult a physician before beginning any exercise program" thing you hear all the time? Yea - that is for you. If you have heart failure, diabetes and pass out - don't you dare set a foot into that gym until your doctor tells you to! I know you're going to see him or her, but really - be careful. The stress your body is under is huge. You may have to start your activity program in physical therapy or something - depending upon what your complications are.
First things first - start the diet, lose some weight, check with the doctor - when you get cleared be VERY specific about what is okay to do. You will have to monitor your heart VERY carefull. BE CAREFUL!
I know you're excited and I am sure all will work out for you, but your post has me having kittens! Do NOT start exercising until your medical situation is stable!
Just my quiet and humble opinion.
