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!

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.
