Life saving surgery

[PaulB 346]

Just to let you know this is life saving surgery.

Up till this point of surgery I did not even tell my wife how bad I was and did a great job covering up how I felt. Befor surgery I was type 2 diabetic in need of insulin had high blood pressure,gout,slep-apnea , bad knees bad back ran out of energy fast. Today I'm 201 lb last A1C test I was 6.0 before surgery my A1C was 10.8. I no longer have gout attacks my knees are getting better every day my back has stopped hurting and I have more energy then I know what to do with ask my wife LOL. I have gone from wearing a 48 waist pants to wearing 36 waist pants from a 3 x shirt to a large and it scares the crap out of me to think that I'm 1 cheese burger 1 bag of chips 1 donut 1 soda away from returning to what I once was. I like the way I look and wish I had done this years ago.

I have been to the heart doctors and have been given a clean bill of health. My family doctor can't believe the change in me and how much healthier I look and feel.

The best part of all now I can play catch with my 12 year old son kick around the soccer ball ride bikes with him at the park. Dads not tired anymore.

Below are 2 pictures the one with the shark was taken before surgery at 305 lbs the 2nd picture was taken about a month ago I have lost 12 lbs since that picture was taken.

Would I recommend Gastric bypass YES YES YES may be it will save your life to

How wonderful. You look amazing. Yes I do believe that this surgery saved your life and added years to it. I am hoping it does the same for me and so far it looks like it just might.
