Barry I really enjoyed reading your journey. I'm about 365 lbs and 5'8" with surgery scheduled for 8/16. Glad to hear you had a smooth recovery. Hope mine goes as well! Hope you get to ride those coasters soon! My goal is to water ski again for the first time in 30 years. Doug

I made it to the other side on 4/13 and had my 2 1/2 week post-op check today. I have dropped 42 pounds forever. I have gone from 398 the day of my surgery to 356 today. I just can't beleive the second chance I have been given. I want to thank everyone for their e-mails and good wishes. For all of you pre-op I wish you the very best.

Hi everyone it is 9 days post-op and I can not beleive how well things have gone. The surgery was fine, pain was minimal and I already see a difference in my blood pressure and breathing. For those of you having the surgery just one thing. That first time they weigh you after the surgery do not be suprised with a 3-4 pound weight gain. No one had alerted me to this and boy was I shocked and disappointed. The weight gain is because of all the fluids you are getting thru your IV. By the time I left the hospital I was already down 5 pounds. Thank you everyone for your e-mails and prayers. I will keep you posted.

Hi Barry, I just wanted to say good luck and have fun. You are starting a whole new life, it takes some getting use to but it's worth it. I had my surgery on 3/7 and so far I am down 60 pounds as of yesterday. As guys we get to drop a little faster than the ladies. Just remeber to get active again as soon as possible it is the key to healing and don't worry too much about the post-op pain (it's just feels like you did too many tummy crunches. Email me if you need to talk to another guy about what your feeling or if you have any questions. Mark
