Jimmy, Welcome to the Message Boards! It’s great to see more guys out here. We make up such a small minority of the people getting WLS but tend to do better than the gals when it comes to reaching goal weights with less hassle due to male physiology. I hope you get all of the support, info, shared experiences and inspiration that this site has to offer. If you haven’t already, drop by the Men’s Message Board Forum to talk with other husbands just like you who are either working towards having the surgery or who have already had it and are growing toward a life better than they ever thought possible! It is great to know that there are others that really “know where you’re coming from,” and that they are pulling for your success. Just a huge crowd of strangers out here with a shared experience. Hope to see you ‘round the boards! Best Wishes-
