Update

Well, I am trying out my new Iphone 3GS. So, Here it is. Also I am introducing a new character on this here site. His name is Michael. Here’s a little jot on who he is. Taken from his YouTube site. Which is Hungry2live.

I am 27 years old and was sick of not living life. I was simply watching it pass me by. I was married on 5/29/2004 and my son was born on 2/6/2007. When I decided to get the surgery I did it mostly for my life, and myself, but knew that it would impact those around me in a positive way. I want to be able to see my son grow up (and soon daughter!), I want to be able to do physical activities like hiking with my family, I want to fit in a booth at a restaurant again, I want to fit in 1 airplane seat. There is so much life out there to live and at 530 pounds, there was no way I could live it.

I tried all the diet and exercise programs that you could think of, and nothing ever kept the weight off. It kept getting higher and higher and higher. I developed many weight related problems such as GERD, Diabetes, and Sleep Apnea. I was literally dieing in a sea of my own fat. I had been talking to my Primary Care Physician for over a year about WLS (weight loss surgery) until I finally decided that this was a path that I was going to take. In August of 2008 I attended my informational seminar for my Weight Loss Surgery. After 6 months of education and counseling I got my surgery on 2/20/2009.

It has been 4½ months since my surgery and I am starting a video blog in the hopes that it will help others.
