male only How Many Guys Are On This App

[Shrinking Don 365]

Good day gentlemen! Don't know how I missed it but just discovered The Man Room today. So here are the vitals:

• 38 weeks post-op on Thursday
  
• 5' 9", weight is down 115 pounds and stabilized at 170 (surgeon's orders to start increasing calorie intake - first time in my life a doctor told me to eat more)
  
• Hypertension - off all meds and bp is actually running just a smidgen low but nothing to worry about
  
• Type 2 diabetes - gone
  
• Back and knee pain - gone
  
• Walking just under 3 miles, minimum of four times a week
  
• 34" waist, large in a polo shirt, 16 1/2" neck - loving every delicious second of it
  

Most amazing journey of my life. The girls outnumber us here by about 10,000 to 1. Doing everything I can to get the word out to men and women alike - there is a way. It's not easy. But it is easier - and that makes all the difference in the world.

that is so awesome great work

4 weeks post op today.

This is my third (and final) WLS. I had lap-band, then Realize Band; both of which I had complications. The Dr. wanted me to get the plication, but insurance would not cover it. So, I got RNY instead. I have lost 20 pounds already, but I was not too over weight to begin with. I am now at 195 and plan on losing 15-20 pounds of fat while putting on some muscle.

Hi guys! 61years old. 5'9" BMI of 43, starting weight of 300. Found out my insurance does not cover WLS. Will be trying to change insurance at the beginning of next year to get coverage. I started my six month nutritionist supervised diet to have that out of the way by year end. Have sleep apnea, high bp, reflux,bad knees and prediabetic. Have lost 40 lbs in the first three months, but have a hundred to go and will need WLS to make that happen. I was wondering if there were any other guys in these forums. Glad to see there are a few of us here. Will keep you posted on my Quest to get insurance coverage and get my surgery scheduled.

Hi smith and welcome to the family! There are a lot of insurance companies that cover wls. Insurance companies are driven by economic statistics and the bottom line is that it's cheaper for them to pay for wls than it is to pay for the medical expenses associated with obesity and the co-morbidities that go along with it, sooner or later. Please keep us updated on your search!!
