Like a great many people on OH.com, I can not ever remember a time when I was skinny. At 9 years old I competed in the Junior Olympics in wrestling and weighed 126lbs. When I was in "the best shape of my life" I weighed 315lbs, played football and was a very athletic and active person. When I played college football I weight 340lbs. As you can imagine, I have only gone uphill from there. I met my wife when I was over 400lbs. She loved me then and she will love me post-op. I am doing this as much for her and our future children as I am for myself. I want to be there for them years down the road.

I have considered this option for quite some time, but now I have scheduled the surgery and there is no turning back. 11 days until its time...
