36 y.o. White male 5'6" 500+lbs....the plus means i really don't know for sure. Here I am staring down the barrel of 40 being this large...I amaze myself that im still around. I have been blessed as far as health goes: no diabetes, normal trigycerides...mildly high blood pressure. I have been overweight as far back as I can remember. My folks say I been fat all my life.
I am on Obesityhelp.com to meet people going thru or have had WLS. All I do know is the thought of having surgery to force myself to lose weight makes me feel like an utter failure...I failed and am looking towards the medical community for help. I must admit the thought of major surgery scares the hell outta me. I have never had any surgery (well does a root canal count?), never broken a bone, etc.I have never been to the hospital for anything more than a few stitches in my entire life.
So here I am. The first half of my life hasn't been all that great, so i'm looking to make the 2nd half much better starting with a whole new better me.
