Today I paid for the Surgery. 100% out of pocket but it was the best money ever spent. I am 35 years old 6'8" tall and weigh 405#s. My weight has fluctuated incredably over the last 18 years. I weighed mid 300's in the early 90's while play football in college, in the mid 90's weighed as little as 197# after getting a divorce and joining the army where i was a Ranger. Eight years ago I got remarried. I have six kids that I currently watch from the sidelines but can not keep up with. I am excited to have this surgery, the changes over the next years. Oh to be able to run with my kids.... To do a triatholon with my friends. Until next time
