Hi everyone I finally had the nerve and time to post a little bit about my story and how to I got to where I am today. Currently I am 6 weeks away from my Sleeve. My name is Carlos im 32 years old and married with a 7 month old baby boy. I am a stay at home Dad and a full time student.
So I have always been a heavy guy as a teen and adult, I always weighed around 350. I was a big boy but very active, I worked out and was on my feet all day at work. I was an audio video installer and had been in the field for some years before I was injured. In October of 2008 I had a spnal injury on the job and have been off ever since. During that time I put on 200 more lbs. yup... I maxed out at 550.. The firt time I got on the scale and had seen tose numbers I couldnt believe it and then it sank in and I cried. The first two years after my injury I was on painkillers like clockwork and didn't even leave the house let alone leave my bedroom. I started to notice a change in my health and in those three and a half years I had issues with severe sleep apnea, chest pains, arthritis in both my knees, high blood pressure and thyroid issues. When I found out my wife was pregnant in march of 2011 something in me changed and I was determined to be healthy for myself and my family. I decided to finally finish college after all this time and was even able to stay home full time with my son and do my courses online from city college. I am determined to ge myhealth back and to find myself again, my wife has been by me through all my health issues and I know I get short tempered with her and it's only because I'm physically frustrated. I have a closet full of clothes I can't even fit. Oh...BTW my wife got pregnant after we both had done Weight watchers and I had lost 50 lbs. and she lost 25 lbs. we had been trying to have a Baby for about 4 years.
