Banded guys



Recommended Posts

This is the only club I know if where being obese is a requirement...rather than a detriment!

Welcome, Benet!

You have joined a very elite club. Yes, I am one of the gals too, but I'm glad some of the guys have spoken up. They're really great guys that we don't hear enough from, like DeLarla says, we're too busy yakking it up! You'll just have to get pushy with us sometimes, we eventually get the hint, LOL!

Welcome and hope all is going well with your recovery. Good luck on your weight loss journey!

Benet,

I found the same thing, not many men on this site. I am Male 47 started weight 265, was banded 09-28-05, no fill yet, down to 246, would like to get down around 200, It will probably take a while. It seems our weight and size or similar. I am als a Type II Diabetic, it has all got better, would like to get off meds one day!

Dano,

Hey I'm a type too diabetic also. But as I've lost the weight I came off of all my meds. My last Hb A1c test was less than 5 which is well into the normal range. I really think that the exercize that I've been doing ( 1hr 5-6x weekly) has a lot to do with it since exercize decreases insulin resistance.

Wow, You have done really well with your weight! I have talked to another banded from New Orleans like us, he has done well too. I can't wait to see 200 and maybe I can come off meds. Keep in touch with me

Hey there!

As a chap myself, I've noticed there's a distinct lack of WLS men on this site.

Not that I'm complaining - I'm a computer programmer, and that's all guys - It's nice to be in a female-heavy environment for a change.

For some reason, computing tends to attract men, and a specific type of men, too - I can no longer count the number of Star Trek related conversations I have had.

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.

      I have no clue where to upload this, so I'll put it here. This is pre-op vs the morning of my 6 month appointment! In office I weight 232, that's 88 lbs down since my highest weight, 75 lbs since my surgery weight! I can't believe this jacket fit... I am smaller now than the last time I was this size which the surgeon found really amusing. He's happy with where I am in my weight loss and estimates I'll be around 200 lbs by my 1 year anniversary! My lowest weight as an adult is 195, so that's pretty damn exciting to think I'll be near that at a year. Everything from there will be unknown territory!!
