I guess I'm lucky

Hello, I guess this is my introduction to the forum.

I'm a 46 Y/O guy, about to go in for a revision to my RNY that was done a while back (exact date when I remember...)

My new date is this coming Tuesday, May 30th, 2017.

My first surgery was somewhat successful, but I guess I got tired of the restrictions and requirements after a while, and I started cheating more and more in my diet.

I dropped down to around 300 lbs after starting at 618, my heaviest.

A few years ago I had an accident, where I was left in a lot of pain, and since I didn't have insurance I left it go untreated, and that was the beginning of my weight gain, to where I'm now, 504 lbs as of last Monday.

Well, here I am, not as excited as the first time, and not scared either, more of a feeling of "whatever".

Now, don't get me wrong, I will make it work, it's not as fun being fat and 46, like it was being fat and 30.

Anyway, I'm an open book, ask away if you have any Q's, and I'm looking fwd to learning from ya'lls successes and mistakes, especially now that I found a forum dedicated to guy's issues, because my first time around, it was mostly ladies, with very few guys, and most of those guys were young.

Best Regards.
