What are your stories guys? Why WLS?

I am choosing WLS to improve my health. I want to get off of blood pressure/cholesterol medication. I also want to achieve a higher quality of life as I age. What were/are your goals?

My list has 38 reasons ranging from not having to buy two airplane tickets for one seat...getting off high blood pressure meds ..a better sex life etc

Im in Shreveport. Did 22 years in army and after retiring and working in office the weight "exploded" onto me. Highest weight 291. Surgery weight 282. Current weight 248 @ 4weeks postop. No more hbp, cholesterol, prediabetic. Probably no more sleep apnea. I "fit" in airplane seats again. I breathe SO much better! Sex drive has picked back up. There's very little "bad" about the surgery. Can't eat a burger or pizza which isn't so bad! I chose RNY because there was only going to be one cut on me! I wanted success and not messing around with bands and all.
