What an absolute insiration you are for alot of people. I get realized on December 11th and I am so looking forward to it. I use to be a 187 lb. really built guy that worked as a head cooler in numerous nightclubs and was proud of what I looked like. Well now since i quit doing all of that and quit smoking I gained 126 lbs. of embarrassment. I am so looking forward to getting back to where I was hopefully and even turning 53 on December 22nd I am liking the gift I will be giving to myself. Hope to talk to you soon on the realize board.

I was going to have the RNY last 9/11/08 with Dr. Schweitzer at Hopkins but changed my mind and decided to hold off and be sure this was the surgery I wanted. After much research and mind searching and a friend with a Lap Band who's lost 130 lbs in 11 months, I decided to have the Realize band. I'm scheduled for 3/24/09 and know that I've made the right decision as I don't feel as stressed. I, too, gained a signifcant amount of weight when I stopped smoking in 1989 and a baby in 1999 didn't help either.
I look forward to hearing about your progress!
