HELLO,
 MY NAME IS BRIAN. I am having my sleeve done in APRIL 2015. i am 6'5" and weighing in at 456 lbs. i stumbled across this site looking up gaining muscle while losing weight, so i read some of the posts in reference to that. i love weightlifting and have since high school. i was introduced to it through football and always had a passion for it. my health has spiraled out of control over the last 15 years and im trying to take it back! i hope to lose about 175 lbs or so but would like to maintain some of my muscle mass or add to it down the road. i have been denied numerous times from my insurance company to have my surgery, otherwise i would have done it years ago! oh well, its getting close to time have it and im looking forward to creating the new me!  thanks for reading!!
