  4. Bigbobo, I had second thoughts before the surgery but the results are WELL worth it. I am 6'1" and weighed 293 when I started my journey in October 2014. Weighed 265 on surgery day 12-15. This morning weighed 182.6. No more diabetes, no more HBP, cholesterol, or other prescription meds. 58 years old should have done the surg years ago. If you are mentally ready, you will be fine. Good luck!
  5. I just got back from Europe yesterday and each time I went through the security x-ray machine it indicated metal at my abdomen. First couple of times I had tactical pants on and the other times I had on light shorts. No idea why I lit up like a Christmas tree. I'm seven months out of surgery and down from 295 to 183. This was the second time I've flown since the surgery and it happend on both trips, first time I didn't really think anything about it. Thanks for any insight
