I started life as a skinny guy and mid life caught up with me. You know the story, before you know it you are 250 pounds. My partner Brett is my inspiration for this journey. In October 2006 he had gastric bypass. Over the past 1 1/2 years he has gone from 365 pounds to 185 pounds... an amazing transformation! I have seen the success and am ready to be a healthier person.
Health is my primary concern. I had a heart attack and cardiac triple bypass in October of 2005. I suffer from hypertension, high cholesterol, sleep apnea, and type 2 diabetes. I need to lose the weight to have a longer healthier life. I am fortunate that my primary care physician, carioliogist and surgeon are completely in support of the surgery. I am also fortunate that my insurance approval was smooth and speedy.
