Hi all not sure who might see this if any but my name is James and ill start at the beginning I've always been a big kid\man when i was younger I could control my weight better because I was always active playing football and basket ball from park board to high school after high school I stopped being so active and of a desk job started drinking pop and with 6+ years of that and no action that's how i land in the position I'm in. I'm having the RNY on 01\07\14 I'm not proud at the fact that I now need the operation as a tool for long term weight loss and I wish I would have been more mindful and had not made some of the choices I made but no scene on dwelling in the past and on mistakes I know ill never go back down that path again with what I know now I'm coming to this website just trying to meet people who have had or are going to get the same or similar operation as me so I can ask questions or view how they have progressed this is my 4th attempt to go thru with this surgery I tried several years ago but I feel like now I'm ready to make the changes necessary to make a huge difference following surgery I am married for ten years now and have three children so I'm not only doing it for me but mainly for them I'm only 27 and I want to be here for a lonnnnnnnggggg time lol my goal is to get down to around 250 pounds I'm having my operation done at health east in st.paul by Dr. Barbara Schmidt
