Pictures of Me

Well, here are some pictures of me. This is how I look right now. In three days I will be having Lap Band Surgery. My waist (under my spare tire) is 54 inches. My spare tire (widest part of my body) measures 61 inches. I'm 6' 1" tall and weigh 380 lbs. Approximately 40 % body fat.

I'm excited to have the surgery because it will be a tool to help me lose weight. My doctor says my goal should be 255 lbs. When I get there I will make a new goal.

I doubt I will be allowed to take pictures during the surgery, but I will update the blog with more pictures and information about me, the doctor, and the results. :-)

First Post, Hello out there.

This is my first post on this blog. I hope that through this blog, potential lap band patients and their families can make an informed decision. I have already made the decision and I'm in the beginning stages of having the surgery. I will post events and updates surrounding the whole procedure and what it entails. I wont sugar coat anything and will tell it like it is. My next post will have a picture of me and my stats. Until then good luck!
