First Installment

Dec 15, 2009

First let me introduce you to me. My name is Evan and I live in one of the most beautiful places in America. I have a great job working for the Navy and I'm profoundly happily married to a wonderful woman. I've struggled with my weight since puberty. I enlisted in the Navy and still struggled greatly with my weight and it eventually ended my naval career. After the end of my short lived Navy career I went home with my tail between my legs. Only to blow up further and further. I met and married my wife how has had her own weight struggles and we have successfully enabled each other to even greater levels of obesity. So that brings us to today.  We are both getting the lap band and we could not be more excited. Right now I weigh 314 lbs. which is my heaviest ever. Between my wife and I we spend upwards of $300 a month on medications alone, and our grocery bills are astronomical. We each have diabetes and GERD, she  has High Blood Pressure,high cholesterol, and etc... so, with all that said we came to a realization that the chances of both of us sitting on a porch holding hands into our 70's or 80's together. Heck we would be lucky to reach our 60's together.

Now, we are ready for a new life a new beginnings. We are sick and tired of being sick and tired. We began this journey as most journey's today start,on line. Then we went to our first meeting on Nov. 19Th and since the we have seen the Nutritionist and exercise physiologist. Today we see the psychologist. Then alas we will be able to make an appointment with the surgeon. I've struggled as of late with the Last Super Syndrome and we just got started I have to get this under control.

Well that is all I have for now more updates to follow.
