Hey Mike I'm definitely in that lost and found category too I've actually lost over a hundred pounds and I managed to keep off 80 over 4 years my comfort zone is 240-250 I can maintain in that area but I really want to push past that. I believe this surgery is going to do it for me. A bigger deciding factor for me though was my diabetes is getting harder to control. I'm scheduled for surgery in June with dr. Hernandez in Mexico. I'm doing cash as well with income tax. My insurance has no bariatric coverage ! Best wishes to you and March I hope all goes well.
