23yr relationship. Im now 42, i cook every night, flowers weekly, love and adore my wife more every day. Found out she has had multiple online affairs and now wants a divorce, “I’m just not attracted to skinny guys” she said. Ouch. So its a human thing not just a man thing. We have a 9 and 2 year old. Biggest 440lbs Day of surgery 404lbs Today 205lbs

Im in Browns Mills nj but i am in Willingboro all the time for work.

My insurance paid for it in 2009 but since the “Affordable Care Act” its not covered

I lost And Arnold Schwarzenegger plus an elephants heart Aug 2009 440lbs9 mo later i was 163lbs (i had complications)Dec 2018 im 220lbs and holding

Its been a hell of a ride.

Personally I went from 404lbs the day of surgery down to 210lbs at 6’2” without a single minute of designated exercise. I just eat right after my Roux-en-Y. But the flip side is i have a very labor intense job so i had dense muscle already. Ladies and gents it’s important to have good muscle tone for this to work.

bow chika wow wow

Sorry for the delay. I've worked in Beverly a few times. Small world, aside from Burlington bring the largest county in nj lol

Dr.Brolin & Dr.Chao where my surgeons ???? 8/24/2009 440lbs that morning 215lbs @ 6"2" and holding since 2011

I havent felt hungry since my RNY. I had my surgery 8/24/09 went from 440lbs to 215lbs @ 6'2" ! loving life!

My only issue with the sleeve is i believe it doesn't shorten the intestine, shortening the intestine allows for malabsorption witch helps for long-term success. I went from 440lbs to 210lbs and have maintained that weight for 3yrs. RNY all the way!

Hun what procedure did you have

My surgeon told me that there's nothing we can do, the portion of intestine after our stomach is where we regulate fat storage & that's why he recommend RNY for me. I was eating 900cal a day and still wasn't loosing weight.

This one lady said to me "Oh you took the easy way out huh" I said "ya just like your brother did with his liver transplant" My best friend is and always has been 185lbs at 6'2" i was 440lbs at 6'2" & when we where 15yrs old (22yrs ago lol) i can remember him eatting 12 SLICES OF pizza & almost a 2litter of soda in about a 2hr period... i had 2 slices and WATER!!! Yet i was 300lbs at that time... obesity is a disease that you were predisposed to. The people who might criticise and ridicule you are uneducated and we do our brothers and sisters who are thinking of having the surgery a disservice by not educating those that may judge. When lifelong skinny people hear my story 99% are swayed from their bias beliefs that we are just lazy and they just might encourage someone they know to the miracles of modern science ... Say it loud and proud!
