Banded guys

[ReneBean 3]

This is the only club I know if where being obese is a requirement...rather than a detriment!

Welcome, Benet!

You have joined a very elite club. Yes, I am one of the gals too, but I'm glad some of the guys have spoken up. They're really great guys that we don't hear enough from, like DeLarla says, we're too busy yakking it up! You'll just have to get pushy with us sometimes, we eventually get the hint, LOL!

Welcome and hope all is going well with your recovery. Good luck on your weight loss journey!

Benet,

I found the same thing, not many men on this site. I am Male 47 started weight 265, was banded 09-28-05, no fill yet, down to 246, would like to get down around 200, It will probably take a while. It seems our weight and size or similar. I am als a Type II Diabetic, it has all got better, would like to get off meds one day!

Dano,

Hey I'm a type too diabetic also. But as I've lost the weight I came off of all my meds. My last Hb A1c test was less than 5 which is well into the normal range. I really think that the exercize that I've been doing ( 1hr 5-6x weekly) has a lot to do with it since exercize decreases insulin resistance.

Wow, You have done really well with your weight! I have talked to another banded from New Orleans like us, he has done well too. I can't wait to see 200 and maybe I can come off meds. Keep in touch with me

Hey there!

As a chap myself, I've noticed there's a distinct lack of WLS men on this site.

Not that I'm complaining - I'm a computer programmer, and that's all guys - It's nice to be in a female-heavy environment for a change.

For some reason, computing tends to attract men, and a specific type of men, too - I can no longer count the number of Star Trek related conversations I have had.
