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
