Not sure where to begin...guess we will go with the basics....I'm obese! I am a big and tall guy, 6'6 and began this process at 368 pounds....today...day 4 of liquids..5 days before surgery I am 359...shooting for 355 on surgery day. I just recently turned 41 (Aug 29) an have been thinking about WLS for a while. I've been going back and forth between the lapband and sleeve....moved my surgery date about 3 times and have finally settled on the sleeve. I think it is the best fit for me. My wonderful wife had the lapband in March with Dr. Alvarez, she is down about 55 pounds at this time. It helps alot with both of us going through this...we can support eachother. I see Dr. Alvarez on Thursday - Sept 20, 2007....the start of my new life. I mentioned my wife, we are closing in on our 10 year anniversary..and have 3 great kids, ages 9, 7 and 3....another reason for these life changing surgeries....show a good healthy lifestyle and choices for our kids. My goal is to get into the 250's....my wife says the 240's...we shall see how it goes!
