Hi Ya'll

My name is Hutch - I have a tentative date of May 9th with Dr Aceeves in Mexi -Cali

I am a truck driver and struggle with weight loss so I have made the decision to be sleeved.

I am nervous but not scared. I have been 100 lbs overweight for the last 10 years and I have tried every diet imaginable - and they work for a minute and then fail. I have no one to blame but myself. I have diabetes, sleep apnea, asthma and planter faciatias in my feet which causes me alot of pain. I hope and pray that after the surgery with time these conditions that I mention will go away.

I recently got married to a beautiful woman that was sleeved in Janurary,2010- and when she said that I needed to get a passport I thought she was excited about going on vacation but little did I know she had other plans - I am happy though because I feel that this is the best decision for me and for us to live a long and healthy life together.

If you all will join me in my upcoming journey I would greatly appreciate all of ur help and support.

Thank you and God bless,

Hutch

Hey Hutch, my boyfriend is also a truck driver so I understand a bit about being in the road. He also lives 5 hours from me so I see him on his home time and when he passes through. I'm aiming for late may early June and I chose Dr. Alvarez in piedras negras .... I am so ready. I know it can be hard to get in ur exercise abd take breaks on the road, but you can do it. Good luck!

My husband is a truck driver as well. He is not overweight at all but he has lost quite a bit of muscle mass and that isn't healthy either. Despite my dietary and health setbacks, I have equipped my hubby with many fresh fruits and veggies as for the past year he gets about 2 or 3 days home weekly (dedicated routes are awesome). He also does a lot of walking at home and hopefully he will start strength training with me when I can exercise :-) I know how hard it is maintain healthy eating on the road but I think with this tool, you can regain your health! You already have the support of a loving spouse that is soooooooo vital. I wish you many blissful and healthy years Hutch. Congratulations on taking charge of your life.
