For all of you out there that are on the fence let me tell you this!

You have two choices - Choice one is to stay the way you are and get sick from being fat and die young ............... Or you can make the decision and get a surgery which is tool to get you healthy!

My story

At the age of 51 i decided I had played hard eneogh, Hard core partying drinking girls and of course a miserable diet of garbage food and carbs! I had a issue with my heart and ended up at Naples Cardiac ward! Laying on the table not knowing if i would ever see my two kids again and who would get them thru college and such I made the decision that if i make it thru this Heart Issue I would get healthy. As you can see I am posting so i did make it thru it. I then had the sleeve which was a tool to begin the journey! With this site and getting your head in line, anyone can do it! If anyone needs any help I am paying forward what many here have helped me so PM and I will mentor and help any way I can!

You have to realize being overweight limits you and will kill you - It is not going to be a easy journey but the reward is well worth it -

Awesome Winston! You look great, and I imagine feel great too. I’m just one month behind you, about 8 months post op. My sleeve is the best decision I ever made!

I hear exactly what you're saying mate.

I'm only 35 but had alot of health issues prior to surgery.

Did alot of parties and alcohol for years myself but gave that up for a new life and 8.5 months later with the bypass completely turned my life around as well.. In maintenance now

Well done.

      Well, tomorrow I go in for an impromptu hiatal hernia repair after ending up in the ER over the weekend because I couldn't get food down and water was moving at a trickle... I've been having these symptoms on and off for a few weeks but Sunday was the worst by far and came with chest pain and trouble breathing. The ER PA thinks it is just esophagitis and that the surgeon and radiologist are wrong. But the bariatric surgeon swears it is a hernia, possibly a sliding one based on my symptoms. So he fit me into his schedule this week to repair it! I hope he's right and this sorts it out. He's going to do a scope afterwards to be sure there is nothing wrong with the esophagus. Here's hoping it all goes well!!

      Having gall bladder surgery in a few days and I so hope the recovery is easier than the one from the modified DS! I could use a bit of luck/pep talk for a change. I'm starting to be able to walk around without experiencing dizziness, but it would be great if the random pain in my chest and abdomen would go away!!
