Hey Shoe: Thanks for being honest. I have always been big, (overweight) About 13 years ago I quit smoking. I did not do it for my health. I have this big denial thing going on and all the other people are going to have bad health, but not me. In the last 13 years I really turned into a balloon. I have tried a lot of diets and programs. Non worked, but I cannot afford surgery. A week ago I joined a group in learning how to eat healthy, no diets. Last week I dropped 12 lbs. Will keep you posted on how it is going. Thanks for being honest and allowing me to open up online. By the way last week I weighed more than you when you started, but not now. Thanks again Dave

That is a very good story to hear today. People like you make my day. I am so glad that you are now doing good and are enjoying your life more. The thing that I think is great is that you would get made fun of, but not get mad at them. This is hard for anyone to do and I am very proud of you for taking the higher road.

Ur story totally touched me. I am 29 and weigh 386 pounds and I’m having the same surgery done 9/27/2011. I have a almost 9 year old and I need this surgery. I want to be around when she goes off to college n hopefully one day see my grandkids. I have been over weight since my teen years. But in the 300 plus pounds for about 6 years . I got hurt on the job 2006 n went through depression n gained a lot of weight prior to my injury I had been dieting with friends n had lost 60 pounds but after my injury I gained all that plus more back. Thank God he helped me out of that depression. N I am now back to my happy self but too heavy. I love life and my family n I need this surgery to be here for my family. I don’t want to stay as skinny as a stick I’m happy if I stay at 200 pounds. N I too do not want any cosmetic surgery. I am no back to work after 4 years and I’m the office manager of the company and I do all the accounting for the place. So all I do all day is sit down at my desk. So It’s hard!! Did u have Ur surgery done laproscopicly or open? Did the medicine the doctor gave u to take home take Ur pain away? How long after surgery did the pain stop?
