I have always been a big guy but very active in sports, Martial Arts, and anything outdoors.  I have never been on any medications or let my size stop me from being active.  Last year I was having some medical issues dealing with high blood pressure and my heart....it was a wake up call!!  I come from a family of large individuals and over the past ten years have really paid attention to the their health issues related to excess weight.  I have have been for the last seven years pursuing Bariatric Surgery to head off the medical problems plaguing my family members.  I finally have a date set for April 11, 2012 and am very excited for the challenges and changes that lie ahead.
