Welcome.  I am a 38 year old man from Barrie Ontario.  I have had a weight problem since my teens.  My greatest accomplishment in this world is that I am the father of 3 girls.  At my highest I weighed 428 lbs.  I was not happy.  I am working to fix my health and find my happy place in this world.  Check me out on facebook http://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=575446603

My Story

I was over-weight for most of my life.  My wife and I enabled each other to get way out of control.  I had acquired Type 2 diabetes and was losing control.  I had considered WLS for several years but my wife was hesitant.  She worried about the safety and about me wanting to leave for someone else when I lost the weight.

My health began to decline and I realized that I had to do something NOW!  I sat my wife down and explained that I was going forward with this with or without her support.  I booked a consult with the Barix Clinic in MI.

Once we met with Dr. Kam my wife came on side.  I applied and received my Out Of Country approval from OHIP and booked my surgery.  April 11, 2007 was to be my rebirth!  Like a phoenix rising from the ashes.

All went very well with my surgery.  I have been losing weight at a great rate but have experienced much more emotional issues that I could have ever expected!
