leep732 6 Posted June 4, 2014 Hi I am a 57 years young guy that wanted to stay that way. I gound myself one day three years back at 360 lbs I was shocked I had been laid up for over ten weeks from a leg surgery much better now. I immediately gave up all soda and really nothing else, in 4 months with the help of being active I dropped to 320. Two years ago I met the love of my life and she has motivated my to want to be healthier and to be able to do the things I used to and have never done on our upcoming honeymoon in Nov. We joined weight watchers together we started going to gyms, even zumba classes they fun. I lost but could not keep it off my leg hampered my activities. So Feb of this year to keep my new years resolution. I sought out the help of a Bariatric Surgeon. I committed to the Sleeve program and could not be happier. On March 5th I had the procedure done and am happy to say I am now down 55 lbs . I have not been under 300 in over 6 years. Its amazing feeling . Hope to gèt to know you all well thank you! 2 BWaltD and DarbiMolly reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Crosby 303 Posted June 4, 2014 (edited) Congrats. Your story is somewhat similar to mine. I was 320 and joined WW. I learned to love working out. I was 50 and running 5 mikes, biking 50 plus, lifting weights etc. I got down to 185 where I stalled. then I had a major hip injury and surgery. Working out was not an option. Slowly I gained 50 pounds back and it has been a yo yo ( with more yo than yo) for 2 years. I recently reinjured my hip simply due to the weight gain. I am now up to 280 and it's feels worse than the 330 ever did! That was the last straw. I am in the early stages...not even had first appointment. But I know how good if can be..and I am determined to get back there. Edited June 4, 2014 by Crosby 1 Texasmeg reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
