  1. Hey all ive been Lurking around this site for about a month now. Thats when i finally convinced my mom that this is the right road for me to go down. I'm Currently in college and my goal is to graduate as a whole new person. I'm about 5,11 and today after avoiding scales for about a year LOL i found out that i weighed 376!!! i was totally shocked. I used to be on the defensive line for my football team so i hide it really well. well actually hid it really well when i moved to college junk food took over and all that nice muscle turned into flab ive been dieting since i was young and nothing really works or only for a little while so i did the research and a band looked like the right choice for me. I already started the process with the doctor visits and starting my medical plan and stuff so whish, me luck.. The reason i'm making this thread because alot of people are saying that what a guy goes through and girl goes through with the band is different and i couldn't find another thread that talked about. So i got some uestion for guys but girls can post too 1.Is it true that guys loes the weight quicker? 2.Is it also true that our Skin snaps back better? 3. Does it affect sex life? 4. What kind excercises and stuff are good? 5.will the band affect weight lifting....i mean like real power lifting....used to be able to bench 250....such a long time ago tears..tears lol 6.Does the excess skin ruin sex life? 7. anything else that you think would be helpfull to guys 8. Can you still drink beer and alcohol? 9. Is it worth it? 10. What is the hardest part? i know some of the wuestions are wierd but i know alot of guys think it so i'm just trying help out thx in advance
