I've been all over this site, and as much as I enjoy reading the stories that all of the ladies share, I've noticed that guys are few and far between. Just wanted to stop in and say, "hey". It's good to have some people that I can fully identify with.

Yeah , there are a lot of ladies on this site , I wish the guys would post up more here , but then we are guys , so it won't happen to much , but you can count on the ladies coming in here , giving the point of view a lot

I agree with Jake. We're here, but a lot of guys tend to keep to themselves. If you guys need anything I can provide, just shoot me a PM and I'll get you my best response.

Hey Fellas - I'm glad to have found this group as well. I actually just got banded yesterday and am looking for some support and have questions that I'd like to address to the guys, but - like you said, it's mostly ladies on here. Very refreshing to see a Men's Room here. I'll be around!

My paperwork was sent o the insurance tonight. I hope t wont take them long to approve me. Glad to find some men here.

I have my 2 week post surgery follow up tomorrow and I'm really looking forward to it! I feel like things have gone well and and I'manxious to hear what the doc has to say.

My doc had me do the two week preop diet and now I'm finishing up the post op diet. hopefully tomorrow I get to move on to pureed/soft food... maybe my stomach will stop sounding like sea hunt...

I'll keep ya posted..

Lance... I had two weeks ago Friday, stayed overnight in hospital. came home Saturday. found it much easier to sleep in a recliner than in bed. made a point to move every hour for at least 10 minutes and go up from there. By Wednesday that "punched in the gut: feeling was pretty much gone. still just a little tender on one incision, but for the most part pain is gone. as for diarrhea from the all liquid diet... damn I need to put a seat belt on the toilet so I don't blast off... sure will be glad to chew somethin'...

I'll let ya all know how tomorrow goes.

This group is amazing! I stumbled on it today and have been blown away. to have this community is great and especially the mens section. We have different portions, different needs and our bodies act different. It's wonderful to have other guys who understand exactly what's goin on!
