My Story
Sep 10, 2008
My journey begins as an overweight grade schooler, being picked on by the bullies at school and being called names that weren't that flattering or esteem building for an adolescent. Before entering junior high I lost 50 pounds on Weight Watchers. I can still remember the tuna mixed with mustard sandwiches my mom made me for lunch. In junior high and most of high school I was on the slimmer side. Probably because a lot of those years I rode my bike a lot. By age 24 I was up to about 250 lbs and joined WW again and lost 75 pounds. I was a size 32 waist and about 170 pounds. I am now 46 and have lost and gained 50-70 pounds about 10 times between quitting smoking 4 times and two pregnancies. Yes I gained more that my wife did during pregnancy. I think I also quit smoking for the last time in there too. Anyway, here I am 46, 5'7", 315 pounds and i just cannot see myself dropping over 100 pounds and keeping it off on my own. I have a wonderful wife, Susie and two beautiful kids who are 2 and 4, Max & Addie, who I really want to be around for. I truly need the help I know the Sleeve will give me. I plan to have it on September 15, 2008.
