Ronald, A little late, but better late than never—Welcome to the Obesity Help Boards. It’s great to see other men out here. We make up such a small percentage (12%) of the people having Weight Loss Surgery, but tend to reach our goal weights quicker and with less or at least Different hassles than the Gals due to Male physiology. Drop by the Men’s Message Board and check out what other men like you are going through. It’s a diverse make up of Dads, Singles, Older, younger, etc…Pre-Ops, Post-Ops new and some Old (at Goal) Post-Ops. Lap-Banders, RNY’ers DS, etc…Just a great bunch of guys with the mutual understanding hat WLS, for Men, can be a totally different Journey. Stop by to add your questions, advice, opinions, and info at- http://www.obesityhelp.com/forums/men/ Hope you find all of the info and support this site has to offer! Hope to see you ‘Round the Boards! Best Wishes-
