So I was just browsing the threads and it annoys me what some people say about the surgery there not having - You can always tell the people that have bypass because they sometimes bag the lapbanders & you can tell the people that have the lapband because of the way they talk about the bypassers and I honestly don't get it. We all are here for one reason plain and simple - To loose weight and be healthier/happier so why are some people so insistent on bagging the other surgeries? Well not exactly...

Well with that having said I'm finally done with all the testing and so forth thats needed before the surgery.

I passed all my tests with good results. Except for the gallbladder. I do believe the Dr.'s gonna remove it.

My wife is greatly encouraging me and standing behind me 110%. It makes me proud to have her.

I am so done with being the big guy every where I go. Hanging out with my friends and they're half the size of me. I've been fat all my life...

I've been here a couple times, didn't get much feedback on my entries. I am 6 months out and doing I think well. Almost at the 100 lb. mark. Still a ways to go.

I've never really figured out how to work this website very well I guess. So let me tell you what i'm looking for. If there is anyone in the western suburbs of Chicago that's on here and has had the surgery, and could possible be looking for someone to pal with, workout with, ride bikes with...or just chat and compare...
