Getting individual health insurance is going to be difficult, as you well know. As a last resort, Texas has a guaranteed issue high risk insurance pool for other wise un-insurable persons. See link below for more information.
Good luck.

previous user is a bit harsh, but yes, it sounds like this will be a problem for you and you ought to shed some pounds.
I’ve never heard of an insurance company turning someone down for being overweight, but then again I live in Canada. Do you need it for a certain reason? Until you can get coverage I recommend saving money every month that would otherwise go to insurance payments, in the case that something does go wrong in the meantime (I hope that it doesn’t).
Good that you are researching them beforehand though!
