Mr180

I love my life.  I love my family.  I have never seen myself as being fat or large.  I was a thick boy, and never made fun of.  When I turned 18, I began to work for the railroad.  I was decently healthy and weighed about 200lbs.  For 5 years I had no problem doing my job or living life.  However, food and beer was my poison.  I gradually began to get bigger and bigger.  With the birth of my baby girl, I was all about enjoying life.  But a few months ago, I was performing my daily duties when my back and ankle began to hurt.  I thought to myself that the job was making my back hurt, but no.  I had left myself go.  I have never been depressed.  I am a happy person and I just couldn't do the normal things I used to without being bothered.  From 200lbs to 320lbs, wow...  I decided to make the call.  When I attended the office visit I knew this was the answer.  Now here i am 4 weeks after my procedure.  Having lost close to 40 pounds, I cant wait for the future and enjoying life to the fullest.
