are there any guys out there that have had this surgery, or don't real men think they need it? i'm as real as any man but diets don't work, so i'm jumping thru the hoops and have seen the psyco dr. once so far. later, greg

Hi Greg,

I'm not a guy but I have heard of guys in my area that have had the surgery. My surgeon has testimonials on his website. There are 5 men on there. I'm not trying to promote my surgeon or anything but if you'd like to read what they had to say you can go to the site. It's www.journeylite.com

Good luck to you.

Hello Greg. I am certainly not a fake man & I am having the Band put in on August 20, 2009. If you look through the sub-forums you will see one called "The Men's Room." This will give you several guys to talk to about the surgery. If you decide to go forward with it I wish you the best of luck!

There are PLENTY of men that have had WLS.

I know that it looks like this is a Chick-oriented Forum, but there are lots of guys here.

And few that are somewhere in between.....

I'm a man, and i am definitely as real as real can be. And I am having surgery next week. That doesn't mean I am having my nails done, too, but hey...maybe I should!!! Haha

I will be 2 years in Sept. Plus there is a mens room in here as well. Any questions just ask us guys. Best thing I did for myself.

Hey! YouTube has a very nice community for lapband support. There are a few men who do a weekly video log of their success with the lapband. Steve, 2thousandand9, I think is his username has been successful and very regular at updating his progress. Down 130 lbs since surgery in January. Maybe check that out.

"real men don't (fill in the blank)"

I hate that phrase. What is a real man as opposed to....what? When my husband says it it makes him sound insecure and I just want to smack him upside the head LOL

Don't worry about what other people think, what business is it of theirs anyway? Do what you need to do, and if that means seeking help, don't in any way think of yourself as less of a man (whatever that means)
