  5. Thanks everyone! Yes I am proud. I keep reminding myself that I have a long way to go. Also, this is a marathon not a sprint.

  13. Wow you are stunning. Congrats on your success.
  14. I just wanted to check in with everyone to say that I'm approaching my 4mo anniversary. I just saw my surgeon last Thursday and I'm down 70 lbs.i have been feeling soooo much better. I'm not hurting (I have a bad back). My endurance is coming back. The sex has been EPIC. I started at 413 lbs. I have a goal of between 220 and 250. I'm hoping to be there by this time next year ( fingers crossed)
  15. I was always attracted to Curvy/ thick women. I'm not hating on the slim chicks but they have never caught my eye. I don't think we as men are that judgmental about WLS.

  19. Hi everyone, I'm in Jax and I got banded on the 27 of July by Dr. Baptista.
  20. I am gonna have to pay 20% but I haven't gotten the bill to say how much this will be.
  21. I have delt with this issue many times. I hope my depression will ease up as the pounds melt away.
  22. Man I can't wait to be back down to my "fighting " weight! The sex game was never that bad but, I want to get back to extraordinary........ Sigh.
  23. I'm at the same point as far as clear foods. This is really hard but I'm trying. Stay vigilant.
  24. I everyone. This is an update for my progress. I just had my banding yesterday and I'm really sore. The Dr. Told me I had a hernia. He fixed it for me while he was in there. I am so glad I did this, now I just gotta get used to this new diet. I'm on a clear liquid diet for a few days. I'm in Jacksonville so if anyone is close by don't hesitate to hit me up. Thank you in advance for any advice any of the people reading this want to offer.
  25. Thanks everyone. I'm about to go to the hospital and meet with the anasthesiaologist. I'm so excited I couldn't sleep last night.
  26. Hello everyone, I am new here and I'm so glad I found this sight. My name is Ruffian and I am due to have the Lap band done this Friday. I am new to the Jacsonville are and would like to talk to some of the Florida people but it said I needed a password. Any kind of info and or advice I am all ears. Thanks for reading.
  27. I want to be able to fit in a Racing Suit for either the new motorcycle I want or a race car.
