Just wanted to see how many guys are actually on here. Would be nice to voice our thoughts, opinions, updates more often.

I'm here 51 years old type 2 diabetic that needs to be on Insulin. I have slep-apnea Gout' date='Acid reflux and bad knees no high blood pressed low cholesterol . The surgery is being done so I can keep my job as a truck driver. I have spent 30 looking for the right driving job I found 6 years later it's killing me. Draw back to making 80.000 a year doing nothing but driving. That's my story Surgery date is August 1,2012 16 days to go. Have been on for about a month or so just got to this room. Will be back.

PS I like the powder room we as men could learn somethings if you just listen ( that's what my wife keeps telling me anyways) haha she's funny

Welcome Paul. I too am a truck driver but have not been driving since 2011 because of my health. I had my surgery on June 6, 2012 and once I get my health back I'll be back on the road.

I'm about to have RNY surgery in 6 1/2 hours!!! I'm scared to death, seriously having doubts about surgery. I'm 285 lbs and 41.8 bmi. Glad to see other guys having this surgery. I'll keep you updated.

Chris,

Good luck on your surgery. I'm 7 months out and have lost 220 lbs. it was the greatest decision I've ever made! I'll have you in my thoughts.

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.
