Whats good OH family, I just want to say thank you to everyone, for all you kind words and gestures of encouragement, my Blackberry was blowing up with all the friend requests and nice things that people had for me.  I just wanted to share with you all know that I went back to my PCP today and I was expecting the worst news in the world, but instead I got OK news, he says I am still at risk  because of my weight but besides my weight I am generaly healthy I dont have high blood pressure , i dont have diabetes , my cholestoral is not great but its not the worst either, he said that by me being a athlete I kept up with myself pretty well all except for my weight, but we are working on that right now, and I know that with some hard work and the help from my team mates(thats you guys by the way) we can make this happen, not just for me but for all of us I have the mindset that TOGETHER we can do this.  I tell my kids on any team that I coach about this guy I like to call "little man" little man in the guy in your head that makes you boubt yourself, that tells you to quit because you are just going to fail anyway so just give up now and make it easy, so with that being said ,it doesnt matter if we live in the same town,city , state or even on the same coast I am letting each of you that read this know  that if you need me I will be there for you so just e-mail me [email protected] , if you have my number call me, if you know where I live stop by, if you see me in the street say hello, just please dont feel like there is no one in your corner because as long as the good Lord lets me draw breath in my lungs and the blood is running warm in my veins I am never too busy for any of you, I'm going to need you just as much as you may need me, to give me that word of encouragement , to help me make it the last mile of the journey, to give me that smile when I just want to cry . to push out all the doubt about my decision, and most importantly to whoop little mans ass, because he has really been running his mouth these past few days LOL. Anyway thanks for reading , but please remember what I said I am never too busy for any of you so please dont hesitate to give me a shout. I am praying for each of and sending lots of love your way . ................. JON JAMES OUT (ha ha) 

Whats going ov everyone Im Jonathan and I am new to the site, and this whole shareing thoughts thing. I am 27 years old and I live in Chesapeake Virginia I drive trucks and coach football , I went to my PCP yesterday 6/1/09 and he told me if I dont lose the extra weight I am carrying around that I am going to die(yeah he just dropped that on me like a ton of bricks) plain and simple, when he said that I was just stone faced, but my mind was working you know a mile a minute, and it made me think of my father, my dad was 52 years old when he died last august , my dad lived a life just like mine he worked hard, he played hard but he died young, and when that all sank in I just sat there on the exam table and cried like a baby, when I was looking at reality dead in the eye and it looked back I hated what I saw. So while I sat there and got myself together he explained  the benifits of having weight-loss surgery and we decided we would persue it, and he suggested that I come here and find people in the same situation as me so here I am. I am absolutley terrified about this surgery the whole being asleep thing while someone else has you life in his hands doesnt sit well with me, but with a lot of prayer , and a little help from my friends  I hope to make it through. I am going to keep up with this blog at least one a week up until a year after my surgery to chronicle my success/failures and whatever else is on my mind, thanks for stopping by and dont be a stranger
