Hey everyone! I'm 5'7" and 285 lbs......As someone who's been dealing with being overweight his entire life I finally got to the point recently that I'm tired of it. I was picked on all through school leading to crying myself to sleep at night. Here at 32 I'm married to a wonderful woman and I feel like I'm an embarrassment to myself and her when we go out. We just got married last September and we're thinking of having a baby soon. I don't want to be the horrible looking fat Dad. I want to be slim and look like a healthy Dad should be.
I met with my Dr. today and she's getting the ball rolling for me by referring me to another Dr. so I can go check out a education session for WLS. I hope I can get this done ASAP. I would get it done tomorrow if I could. This looks like a great forum and I hope to spend a lot of time here.
