Bigbobo,
I had second thoughts before the surgery but the results are WELL worth it.
I am 6'1" and weighed 293 when I started my journey in October 2014. Weighed 265 on surgery day 12-15. This morning weighed 182.6. No more diabetes, no more HBP, cholesterol, or other prescription meds. 58 years old should have done the surg years ago.
If you are mentally ready, you will be fine. Good luck!
