What are your stories guys? Why WLS?

Well, I used to be pretty fit. Was a firefighter and enjoyed life. Quit smoking, got far and now I can't seem to get it off. I have never been really thin but I want to be healthy. I have a silly stupi dream, I want to be a flight medic. With my weight, it will never happen. That and I have knee issues so I started looking at options. WLS was on the list. I knew I didn't want the band. I did a bunch of research and wasn't impressed. What I really wanted a sleeve gastrectomy but, insurance won't pay for it so I started looking into bypass. I'm 30 and 309 lbs. time to start livin again I figure.

On a side note I have been going to gym regularly and am noticing some weight loss and muscle increase. I hope to continue it post op and see what I can do!

What are your stories guys? Why WLS?

I'm 40 I was in good shape until my 30's when I hurt my back and had surgery and I was suppose to be out of work for 3 to 6 month to fully recover, but being hard headed and on good pain meds I thought I was better after 6 Weeks and went back to work and reinjured my back and had to get surgery again. After that the weight started pilling on. Once I was at about 300 pounds I tried to get bypass, but that was in 2003 and insurance wouldn't cover because the considered it to be cosmetic at that time. Well 9 years and 137 more pounds and becoming disabled because of weight causing DDD in my back medicare paid for my surgery. I choose rny because I think it's the best fit for me because of the amount of weight I need to lose. My pre op weight was 437. By the way I'm Sean and had my surgery on 6/6/12

Good on you Sean. It's amazing how shortsighted insurance companies can be. I have private medical insurance in the UK and WLS is excluded from the policy, because it is regarded as cosmetic - whatever your weight!!

Welcome waterman

Glad that you joined this great forum man.

I'm 33 and dating a great girl. diabetic 2, high bp, cholesterol. I'm 7 months post-op. and 220 lbs lost! The women out number the men, no lie. Like 3-1 maybe more. Your absolutely right the men have a lot of catching up to do. Having you and your wife doing this together is incredible. If you have any questions hit me up or start a thread.

I heard that a lot of people end up not liking the band because you have to go to get fills and unfills often. I was originally wanting the band too. I also heard that its not very effective at weight loss. I hope she can succeed with the band though, if not she might want a revision where the have to go in and take the band out and do a bypass or another surgery. I wish you both the best. Just my thoughts in case you hadn't heard that before.

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
