    That’s awesome! When my wife and I got married 10 years ago, we got married on football Saturday! But I made sure it was an out of town game. We got married in the afternoon and had our reception afterwards of course. Nebraska was playing that evening, so I had already set up a projection screen in the back of the wedding party facing the opposite wall. So me and all my football groomsman could still watch the game. Hahaha! Well it turned out that most of the 300+ people there also wanted to watch the game. So we just turned it into part of the entertainment!

    I had partial shoulder replacement 7 years ago. With 3 shoulder scopes before that. At that time I was about 150 pounds lighter. But that surgery was my downfall. I gained a ton of weight after it.

    WOW! That’s Awesome! What a cool story! There are always connections some how and some way in this world. Yes I played football for Nebraska 2000-2005. I red shirted my first year which gave me the 5 years.

    Oh and on top of my weight. Because of my weight I have diabetes, sleep apnea, high blood-pressure, etc, etc. So all those are another factor of my health that I’m having this surgery.

    Hello! Well I’ll be having the Sleeve done on April 11th. Here in the Cornhusker State of Nebraska. I live in Lincoln, Nebraska. I’m 36 years old. I’m honestly embarrassed to say but I’m an ex-football player and a Certified Personal and Strength Trainer. These days I do more Strength training and power lifting. Iv alway been about muscle and power! But wasn’t good about taking good care of myself when it came down to overall health with my body fat. It was a lot easier to tell someone how and what to do than to tell myself. So now I’m tipping the scales at 475 lbs. I still go to the gym everyday and lift weights...but I just can’t seem to kick the eating all the time problem. So I sat down with my wife and kids and parents...and we decided that this surgery would be a great thing for me. Sometimes I feel bad because Iv been giving a great deal of opportunity’s in life with fitness and the knowledge of fitness, but when it comes to food...ITS MY Kryptonite! So I believe this surgery will do wonders for me and my family.

    Hello everyone. I just stumbled across this website as I was doing my normal “bariatric Surgery” google search that I seem to keep doing. And thought to myself, what a great place to be! Talking to other people that are going through the same thing that I’m going through! I’m having Bariatric Surgery April 11th!
