About Me

  • Gender
    Male
I am pre-surgical and going through all of the required procedures.  I am still at this point not 100% sure whether I should go with the band or the sleeve, but I'm going down the band path because I like that it does not involve cutting part of my body out, is less "invasive" and reversable.  Although, I know I can't reverse it, or I will be right back where I am now.  I am excited about the potential for a life more full of activity and less pain and embarrasement.  I would be lying if I didn't say I was anxious about removing food as one of the main focuses of my life.  I look forward to eating and plan everything around it at this point in my life.
