Toughest Decision I've ever made, My intro to weight loss surgery

[TooBIG.net 36]

Hello everyone,

I've been a member since 2007 I believe when I was researching then wither or not to have the surgery. I never went through with it at that time. I was scared and I don't think I was ready. At the time my mind was focused on LapBand. Now present day, I have been instantly approved by my insurance company for weight loss surgery.

I've made the decision to blog my journey on youtube. I want to document the whole process and transformation. Not only for myself but for my 2 beautiful girls. Mainly so they can see and know how much daddy fought for to get healthy for them. I'm also doing this to become a better husband and better provide for my family and give them and myself an overall better quality of life.

I'm 38 and an IT Professional, I was always reserved about surgery. Mainly because I was scared but as I've gotten older I have run into some health issues and have found out that I'm no longer super man and need the extra help to get over the hump of weight loss.

Jan 9th of this year I was 581lbs, Presently I'm 547 and although I'm already approved for surgery I've been give a goal to lose 50-60 lbs and get below 500 before they want to operate.

I'm determined and excited for this process. I';m here to learn and here for support. I've already read some incredible stories and look forward to more and sharing my progress along the way. I hope and welcome all of you to join along.
