Let see where do I start, All my life I always felt that I was over weight. All  my life I was never athletic in fact when I was a child some of the close I wore were labeled "HUSKY" boy I have not heard that word in years, And as I grew into A teen I always felt that I had a little more weight on me than most boy's my age  and kids being cruel would call me fat and I don't have to tell you that did not do much for my self esteem. When I turned 21 my life change a little I found disco's and clubs but not just any clubs but clubs that were for those 23 and 25 and over. I liked these adult clubs because there were no fighting or other drama like what goes on at all those 18 and over places, And because I behaved myself and acted like a adult and dressed in suits they would always let me in. I began to dance, Boy did I dance I was a dancing fool 7 nights a week. When I turned 23 I met a woman 11 years older than me and I stopped going out as much ,7 nights turned into 4 nights then 2 nights and finally just Saturday night with her. The rest of the week was filled hanging around eating Doritos's, high calorie foods and drinking coco cola at her house. Looking back I realize she never gained weight  it was just me, I went from 210 to 225 to 240 and no dancing anymore we finally broke up when I was 25 then the dancing started again but  this time I just could not lose the weight I gained the most I could drop was 10 lbs. When I was 26 I met my wife at a club this time I was with a woman that NEVER wanted to go out ,I talking no going out to dinner , no going dancing you name it she never wanted and still don't want to go out  and to top it off she hates food( I never thought there was such a woman) Lucky me I think I got the last one...LOL. I love going out to dinner so I did the next best thing I COOKED. I cooked all those fat creamy pasta dishes all those steaks you name it, Of course  I still was not going out dancing except for the every once in a while wedding so I gained alot more weight. In between I tried to diet but never really had  will power to lose any real weight the next thing I know I got diabetes..BAD. For those who know what your numbers should be  I am ashamed to say for the last 18 years up in till 6 months ago my numbers were between 275 and 350. now with SPECIAL 5x strength insulin my numbers are between 90 and 130."Good right" The problem is when I started special insulin I was 280lb having a hard time losing weight now I blew up to a whopping 320/330lb and can't seem to lose any weight no matter how much I watch what I eat or what I do. About 3 years ago I met a neighbor that was close to 465lbs and he had told me that he had a operation and he lost over 200lb and he told me that if I got the surgary it would help with my diabetes and then his wife who was  a little over weight had the same operation and lost 100lb. I then did alot of research and talked to a few of my doctor to find out what they had thought and if this is the route I should go and  they all seemed to agree that this is the thing that could best help me lose the weight once and for all as well as most importantly get rid of my diabetes . So here I am.
