I?m new to the forum, but I have been reading and digesting a lot of information from this site. I would like to say Thank You to everyone who posts the information is very enlightening. My name is David; I live in N. Oklahoma with my wife, two kids and six animals. I will turn 41 in week and I weigh 345 lbs and my BMI is 49. I?m the unhealthiest I have ever been in my life and I don?t see it getting better in the future without some assistance. I am working towards getting my procedure scheduled and I?m really happy about my decision. I wish I hadn?t waited so long to make this decision but I have always been a person who just thought I could handle it myself. With age comes wisdom and I now realize that there is now shame in giving yourself the best advantage for success and that?s what I will be doing for me now. I will be scheduling my procedure with Dr. Jose Rodriguez in Juarez Mexico, so if you have any information about the Doctor or the facility I would love to hear it, the more information I get the better. Thank you all in advance and I look forward to becoming part of this community. David T

Got my date of Oct 8th with Dr. Jose Rodriguez, and I have to say that I'm just about as excited as I was when my children were born.

This makes me sad because I homebrew with a friend and the beer we make is so good, but if it?s something that has to go then so be it, Crown and water for me please.

I have not had the procedure at this time but I can tell you that I had the same thing happen to me for several years, got so bad at one point that I had to sleep sitting up. Back in Nov 09 I was diagnosed with extreme sleep apnea and was put on a CPAP machine. I have not had another episode of any kind since the use of my CPAP, I also no longer suffer from any type of heartburn or acid reflux. Just food for thought, maybe something to look at.
