For me it was countless diets of losing a lot of weight just to put it back on. I love roller coasters, movies, sporting events and just other things and often avoid those things with my friends as I don't want to be the one that gets turned away. I love to travel but avoid airplanes as much as possible to save the embarrassment. In my youth, I played football and was a lineman. With football workouts I wouldn't put on much weight and I was a pretty good weight for a lineman at 6'1 300 lbs. By time I graduated HS I was up to about 320 and done with football. And at my highest (previous) adult weight of 376 I began a diet and got down to about 285. Over time I put all back on and now I am at about 380 and been debating on the surgery for over a year. I got approved for everything and will have it January 31. I am looking forward to staring this next chapter in life and just to live and enjoy life again.

I have a surgery date of January 31 with Dr. Roberts in Livonia, MI. looking forward to the new journey.
