10 days til OP

Today I paid for the Surgery. 100% out of pocket but it was the best money ever spent. I am 35 years old 6'8" tall and weigh 405#s. My weight has fluctuated incredably over the last 18 years. I weighed mid 300's in the early 90's while play football in college, in the mid 90's weighed as little as 197# after getting a divorce and joining the army where i was a Ranger. Eight years ago I got remarried. I have six kids that I currently watch from the sidelines but can not keep up with. I am excited to have this surgery, the changes over the next years. Oh to be able to run with my kids.... To do a triatholon with my friends. Until next time

you can do it!!! and it will give you just what u put into it... had lapband surg. 5 weeks ago and have lost 25 lbs. i also wanted to run again with my kids and now my first grandchild. It will give us all back our life again... hang in there it will surely be the best move you will ever make for yourself. Best of luck!

good luck to you i have been banded for 2 months and have lsot 25 lbs.
