I started At 540 pounds , i have lost 230 pounds and the weight is still coming off. I had the VSG 15 months ago. It is possible to lose large portions of weight

The Final Straw for me was going to a doctor and stepping on the scale and it hitting 540 pounds . when my mother saw the scale she looked me dead in my eyes and started crying. My mother already lost my sisters 4 years ago from complications from Multiple Sclerosis .i know when she saw that scale she saw me in a grave next to my sister. i had also been having back issues and blood pressure issues. I saw myself in a full mirror and did not recognize who i was starring at. At that point i decided that i had to do something. A Lot of people say that this is elective surgery but for me it was not elective at all. Either i have the surgery or i'm dead by the age of 30. Best decision of my life

I'm so glad to hear I'm not the only one worried. I was already over 300#'s but was able to stay active until I began having back pain. Over a year and a half I blamed it on my weight as I stopped walking, kayaking, etc. because of back cramps.Then after being frustrated about it long enough I found out of have 3 herniated discs. Bleh...the nasty culprits that changed my already slow (compared to average weight folks) lifestyle. I put on about 150 pounds as I struggled with my back. I am looking forward to being lighter in my kayak...maybe it won't fill with Water so easily now! LOL And I hope to alleviate some of this back pain and get moving again. I read your posts so envious and proud for you at the same time! Can't wait to join the crew....looks like around Christmas hopefully!

Diaries of a man W-H-O-R-E
So I have lost a huge amount of weight and I just started to get back into the dating scene and I have been more than successful. I had a relationship that lasted about 5 months and then that ended mutually. Since then I have been dating a lot. Right now im dating with no intention on moving forward with anybody, I guess I like the freedom. Right now I would say that I just want to have some fun. Right now I am dating 4 women at the same time and its getting harder everyday. I am honest with them all and they know that I am dating other women at the same time. Each person intrigues me in a different way. I know that at some point that this is not going to work and that they will start wanting more. Last week one of the girls wrote me a love poem. I truly care about them all but I know I am going to have to start releasing some of the felines back into the wild. Is there anybody out there that can give me some advise on what steps to take to let these girls down easily ? i know there are some guys on here that have had this same experience.

RUN!
Fast.
And far.

What??? When did this start? And wouldn't it be appropriate for a male forum mod to be policing the man room rather than Susan? Just sayin....
Does this also mean that Christians can't post in the Atheist/Agnostics forum anymore? If so, thank the Godless heavens.

So, I have been overweight my whole life. I am 33, i was 175 in high school. 210-220 most of my adult life and now topped off at 245. I feel like crap. I have researched and thought about bariatric surgery for the past 10 years. I am now confident that the sleeve is right for me and just done with dieting. I have no comorbidites but have other issues that I won't go on forever and list. In the past two months I have been in the ER twice and told to have my gallbladder out by the ER docs. Saw my primary the other day and she proceeds to tell me that all her patients who have done bariatric surgery have all gained their weight back and instead of removing my gallbladder I should just eat right and deal with it. I requested a letter of medical necessity and medical records two months ago getting ready for my consult on June 5th. And she wants to wait until I'm seen. I am so annoyed. I have been to info sessions and other consults in the past years but didn't go ahead because my insurance wouldn't even consider it and I couldn't do it financially. Now I am am prepared either way. I just feel she is trying to discourage me and it really sucks. Anyone else dealing with this?
