Well I started after a few of my friends had the RYN (I got the Gasttic Sleeve) and lost a hole person in weight.  I noticed How they looked and listen to hoew they felt and I started to get to that point for my self.  So I started to stop drinking any soda in May of 2008, whitch was the hardest to do because it was the most faverate thing to drink.  I told my family that I wanted to be old enough to see my grandchildren's children.  No I don't have any grand children Yet!!!  I was wearing 4XL in shirts and a 50 in the waist, not able to get anything off the rack at any of the stores that I would take my wife to get anything for her my girls.  The Big and tall or Big Dog stores are great but expencive.  Then I started to look for Surgeons, I talked to three before I found the one to do the surgery.  Started aroung 370 lbs in May and by the time I went to the second doctors office I was 366, about a month later at the my surgeon's office I was 356.  That was around the first of August 2008.  November 3, 2008 I was at 335 and in for sugery.  After the surgery, the first 10 days I dropped 20 lbs and after one month I was done to 300 lbs.  I feel much beter and the pain in the knees as well in my feet, there is not much left.  I have dropped two sizes in my shirt size and three sizes in my pants.   I find that if every one can afford this it may save so many lives.  I have seen that in my friends lives and already seen it in mine.

Good luck to all,

Scott
