Room for a New Man

I think we done scared the men off!  Just kidding...they pop in every once in a while. Us women are a friendly group and just love to answer questions.  I had RNY on March 8 2006.  As you go through this big change, encourage your wife to read the forum too.  She can PM us with any questions, too. Nice to meet you! Brenda

I'm glad you found us!  It's always nice to have a man around the house.  Make sure you check out the RNY forum also. Carole

Now, even though I am almost half the man I used to be I'm still around!   Hang on for the ride of your life!  Start walking now if you haven't and get going on drinking water.  Us men do have a HUGE advantage to the women in losing weight.  I sometimes feel guilty posting my results (about 80% weight loss to BMI is in the normal range) in just 6 short months.  Good luck and don't hesitate to post your questions, there's some great people and ideas that go through this group --SaxMAN

Thank  you to all for the support and encouragement! You will hear more and see"less" of me.

Congrats & Good luck to you. You are in for a amazing change in life.  The ride you are about to take  is a awesome one.  So hold on and enjoy. DeAnn

Thanks again to all....

Tim.  How you doing? Someone mentioned earlier about the mens forum.  She was absolutely right.  Click on forums, go down to more forums, go to second box on left and scroll down to men.  All men there, great forum with lots of great info. kevin

Welcome to the Board if there anything we men can do to help you please holler.. I was like you and found the board about a month before surgery and it really helped.. I am down 210 lbs and would do it all again ... but not with out this board :) ..  keep us informed and again   WELCOME!! Paul

Welcome!  I had WLS July 2005 and dropped 178 lbs.  I use to wear size 32 jeans, now in size 12. (sometimes a 10) Keep researching, asking questions, and by all means, read profiles here because many of us have posted our stories and what we've each gone through pre op and post op. It's quite a ride but I'd do it again in a heartbeat! Again, congrats on your decision and welcome! Stacey W

Congrats and good luck on your upcoming surgery. How is the winter life treating you in TC this year? I grew up in Muskegon, and I think the winters are so much different closer to the lake.  Where is your surgeon located? That is not a name I have seen before. Welcome to the forum.
