male only How Many Guys Are On This App

[LA GP 117]

Im in Shreveport. Did 22 years in army and after retiring and working in office the weight "exploded" onto me. Highest weight 291. Surgery weight 282. Current weight 248 @ 4weeks postop. No more hbp, cholesterol, prediabetic. Probably no more sleep apnea. I "fit" in airplane seats again. I breathe SO much better! Sex drive has picked back up. There's very little "bad" about the surgery. Can't eat a burger or pizza which isn't so bad! I chose RNY because there was only going to be one cut on me! I wanted success and not messing around with bands and all.

Welcome LA GP, ...Only one cut for me too! Looks like you are a big loser already! Keep up the good work... I've had enough cheese burgers and cheesesteaks for a lifetime. DON'T EVEN MiSS THEM!

I'm READY!!!

Met with the surgeon last week and February 22nd can't get here soon enough. My last official class for the 3 month program was Friday. The bariatric surgery review board will meet the Thursday after Christmas and discuss all possible patients.

As of Friday I had successfully lost 36 pounds which I am VERY proud of!!!!!!!!

I'm currently preparing and tasting various kinds of clear Liquid Protein options so I know what I will be able to handle during my clear liquid phase.

My motivation has been 6 preop photos that I had my wife take before I began this journey. I keep them in my bedside table and view them EVERY morning and night. I will NEVER let myself look like that again.

Thanks you all for listening. I wish everyone much success.

And most importantly...being a loser can make you feel like a winner if the company is proper!!!!!!!!

Hi everybody. 30 years old, married and a father of a 7 year old girl. highest weight 450lbs. Weight at surgery was 408.6. Surgery was 12/18/12. I've got way too many reasons to list as to why I got the surgery. Besides from being excessively overweight, my health is very good and I didn't want that to change. I am from Toronto Ontario Canada. Nice to finally meet the guys on this forum.
