It started as kid, battling my weight. Nothing ever worked !!! I was very active as a kid, playing baseball, football,basketball, handball, hockey and anything else you can imagine, but was still always heavy. In 2002 I had enough and i wanted to do something about it. So the summer of 2002 I had my 1st wls, the lap band. I was so UNHAPPY with the results, partly my fault partly my surgeons fault. He didn't really educate me on the LAP BAND nor did I educate myself. After 5 years of mainting my PRE OP weight of about 320 pounds and not LOSING a pound I decided to go under the knife again and take the Band out and proceed to the Gastic Bypass. My surgery date was June 2nd and weighed 318 pounds, and here I am on July 14, Just 5 weeks later at 267 pounds. If my math is right Thats 51 pounds in Just 5 weeks or so. I'm feeling Great, going to the gym, walking on my breaks at work and just having a better OUTLOOK.
Thank you to my Wife and Kids for all your support. As tough as the Surgery was for me I KNOW it was tougher for you guys.
Thank you and I love you !!!
