Big Guy 77

Overweight my entire life with the exception of about 4 years in my late 20's, where I crash dieted and worked out to drop over 100 lbs.  After a work injury I gained back 1/2 the weight.  Then, marriage, work, life, etc I neglected my health and regained and then some.  Researched WLS for 2 years.  Final straw was not being able to ride an amusement park ride with my 3 year old son because I couldn't close the seatbelt and we had to get off.  I said that day i will never fail my son again and when we returned home from vacation I called the Doctor.  Now post-op and filled with hope and the belief I'm going to succeed.
