I'm David Martin, a here-to-fore commercial helicopter pilot. I've lost more than 900 pounds in my life but I'm heavier than ever. For 25 plus years I carried 220 pounds on a 6' 1" frame. Now, I'm at 346 and I lost an inch of altitude.

I live outside of Cleveland...Texas on 13 acres of trees and tangle. This was my 54th and hopefully final move. I'm now training for alternative certification to teach middle school math.

I badly need to lose 100+ pounds and change my lifestyle to keep it there. I have high blood pressure (controlled) and obstructive sleep apnea.:cursing::cursing::thumbs_down:

Good luck David. I am just starting the journey. My lap band surgery date is May 12th and I am both nervous and excited. I wish you well on your journey. Becky

Hello David ! Do you have the band in place yet ? I wish you the best possible...I too had medical problems (3) and losing the weight kept me off of meds !!
