Hey Guys -

Just thinking about life post-op, how I'm going to look, etc. I've always been known as a 'big guy' for as long as I can remember. Anyone else worry about not being a big guy post surgery? I know that sounds weird, because, well, that is the point of the decision to have surgery, but along with the many downsides to being a overweight there are some advantages to being a big guy. Just wondering if I'm the only one that thought of this or if anybody else thought that too?

Hey guys.....thanks for all of the honest and open conversation. This thread is one of the best I have read so far. The willingness to share is wonderful.

FYI - I am having sleeve gastrectomy on Tuesday, 4/8/14.
