Im gonna do an Iron Man

I'm nearly 3 years out and I'm gonna do an Iron Man. 2.5mi swim/112mi bike/26mi run.  I've done (1) 1/2 Ironman and qualfied and finished the (2) national championship 1/2 Iron Man this year. Local news did a story on me. Talk about a WOW moment! Check it out http://www.ksdk.com/video/default.aspx?aid=55904&sid=125694& bw=hi&cat=2 

That is awesome!! What an accomplishment! Good luck and keep us posted. Even if you don't win, you couldn't have done this 3 years ago. So you have come a long way! Congratulations!

Hey G Wolf! Big Congratulations! 3 years ago would you have imagined this at all?

I just wanted to drop by an Invitation. It’s great to see other men out here. We make up such a small percentage (12%) Of the people having Weight Loss Surgery, But tend to reach our goal weights quicker and with less Or at least Different hassles than the Gals Due to Male physiology. Drop by the Men’s Message Board, Share your story, and check out what other men like you are going through. It’s a diverse make up of Dads, Singles, Older, younger, etc… Pre-Ops, Post-Ops new and some Old (at Goal) Post-Ops. Lap-Banders, RNY’ers DS, etc… A few of the guys there have taken up Marathons, weight lifting, Cross-country biking, And even a couple of Iron-Man Competitions as well. The one that comes to mind is- A.J. P. Check it out…. How weird would it be if the two of you were passing one another without even having an idea of the other’s super-similar journey. It’s a Great bunch of guys with the mutual understanding That WLS for Men, and the remarkable life changes it allows, Can be a totally different Journey. Stop by to share your story, add your questions, advice, opinions, and info at- http://www.obesityhelp.com/forums/men/

It’s Great to know we’re not so alone, And that there are others pulling for you. Hope to see you ‘Round the Boards! Best Wishes- Dx
