Howdy!

Hi all,  my name is Jon. i have been reading the boards for a while now, mainly the RNY board. i didnt know there was a board for just guys till today. thought i would drop in and say hello!. i had surgery on jan 82008. started ar 341, and as of last night, i am down to 239, so i am as happy as can be.  now that i know theres a mens board, iw ill definitely be reading more here, as i was wondering why there was not many posts from men in the RNY board.. hehehe Jon

Welcome Jon, I had my surgery on the 22nd of  Jan. Sounds like we have had similar progress.  I was 331 when I had my surgery, and I just hit 238 this morning. Congrats on all your successes. Everyone here is friendly and willing to help with any questions. Scott

Welcome to The Men's Forum! I'm just short of 5 years post-op. Congratulations on your loss. It does keep getting better. Great bunch of guys here happy to share experience or info. Jump on in! Best Wishes- Dx

Jon I'm one year out and I'm starting to check out the men's board again. I just kind of wandered away for a time and spent most of my time over on the RNY board. You have done very well to drop so much weight in such a short period of time. You obviously follow the program closely. Keep up the great work. John

Hey Y'all from South Carolina!  I had my surgery on April 23rd (I'm still sorta fresh).  I've found that this is a great bunch of guys without all that ESTROGEN!  You're more than welcome to hang around here and FART with us (we can make a lot of noise )  WELCOME ABOARD!!

LOL! thank you all for the very warm welcome :) im really happy i made the choice i did.. i was very nervous about it, but finally i decided it was time for me to change my life. i love reading the boards, and finding im not the only one who goes through things like i do :) Thanks again! Jon

You sound a bit like me.  My starting point was 316 (high 330 or so) and I'm almost 3 yrs post op and I'm at between 184lbs and 194lbs.  I still can't believe how many life times ago it seems that old me exsisted.  Congrats on your progress thus far!!

Great video John, and welcome to the board Jon.

Welcome, to the Locker Room.  I hope that you come to value the guys here as much as I have.

Hello to my fellow Austonian! (actually Wimberley here) I'm fairly new to the locker room as well. I don't post much because I'm still pre-op. I hope to have my RNY in the second half of Sept or the first half or Oct. Right now I'm about three weeks into my medically supervised weight loss program that my insurance requires. Your progress is an inspiration for those of us on this this side of the knife! Thanks for posting and welcome! Mark
