Sorry, I'm calling BS. There's no way possible a man of any strength at 380 lbs can do P90X and say it was easy. I've been certified by Beach Body in training and it's just not possible. You're telling me that at 380 you can do 150 pull ups easily? And the Yoga? Plyometrics? Push ups? Ab Ripper X?? Come On! I've trained other guys on it and they were all ridiculously in shape, military & body builder types and even they had a hard time.
Myself at 250 had to do all of the modified work outs and even STILL it took all of 2 weeks for me to blow out my knee bad enough to require surgery, and I can bench close to 300 and leg press nearly 400lbs, so I'm considered fairly strong. So again, sorry, I'm calling BS.

Hi everyone... just wanted to chime in .... I'm getting my sleeve done on April 30 here in Rochester ny with Dr. O'Malley.... my nerves hasn't kicked in yet. I was looking to find a group to chat with and compare. Its nice to have the support of friends and family but I think it would be nice to chat with ppl who are going through the same thing. So here I am saying "HI!!!"

So...lots of good news!!!!
I called my insurance company today and found out I was approved (within 3 days no less)! I have my surgery scheduled for April 24th!! The whole process only took 4 months (from my first seminar to surgery date)! I am really happy and excited, but it all seemed to easy....its real but not 100% real right now.
I am getting super scared and nervous! I want to keep only positive energy around me right now, but its so hard not to worry about the negatives....I am just hoping for a complication free quick recovery.

My process has been SUPER fast, too. Attended seminar 3/1/13, saw NUT, mental health, met with surgeon twice, and scheduled for surgery on 4/23/13!
