One of the males

having this surgery on the 2nd of March and I am excited but concerned that my "live to eat" life-style will be drastically altered. But, my lover wants to see me healthier and I want to be able to see my winky again. I am tired of looking like I am pregent all the time. My family is ticked at me for doing this but that is one of the reasons I am. I couldn't care less what they think. They are all fatties too. I am the smallest in my family. And now that I am going to be pretty again. They hate me even more. MUAHHHHHHH. I love ticking them off. "Close minded bigets". Anyway, Dr. Lauter's is the best in Washington state. He's very understanding and cooperative. I have tried to shock him with some of my "off the wall" questions but he probably has heard them all. Anyway, to my fellow brothers and sisters of fat. Good luck and may you be able to run with the big dogs again. Blessed Be!

I'm the other male! I have wondered all along this journey how to get the guys to discuss the male goods and not so good of wls. My date is 3/14. I wish you the greatest of experiences this week of your surgery. Let me know, as soon as possible after your surgery how you are doing on the other side. Blessed Be to you too! Jerry

I must be the third male having this surgery! I had to laugh when reading your post. I am sure we have some issues/concerns that are different than the ladies. I too would like to see Mr. Winky again, it has been quite a while! I think the hardest part for me is going to be realizing I can no longer throw down a pizza and wings while watching a football game. How can you sit through an entire sporting event without eating? Do we have to give up sports!! My surgery is set for the 4th and I am currently on my farewell tour of all my favorite restaurants. Can't be the smartest thing I have ever done, but I will feel better knowing I had them one last time... My family has been ok with it except for my mom, she isn't too thrilled. But they don't understand what it is like to go through life as big as I am. Good luck on the 2nd and keep me posted on your progress! Chris S.

Hi, from one of the females. You can watch your sports. I give you permission! Just have your shakes along. Forget the pizza and wings. You won't even want them!! love from Barb in Sunny CA!! (Finally got the Sun!)

I am sure that women and mothers can't possibly understand that a man measures himself as a man by his ....... . I don't know much about how women think but, the way that they think intriques me. To many times we are put upon by society for being fat. But, think of this way. If it were the skinnies and us on a island we would last longer. We would eat them. Chris S. good luck dude. Whinkies here we come. We are about to bring back your shelf life.
