Welcome Eric! Congrats on your life changing decision. My only regret was waiting until I was 49 yrs old before I had RNY to lose 160 lbs of excess weight. Like you before surgery my weight was 377 lbs, but carrying that much weight around for 30 years took its toll - type II diabetes (34 yrs old) and HBP (40 yrs old).
These are a great group of knowledgeable guys, so ask questions.
Good luck!
