I have spent 30 years in radio broadcasting, and am now taking on new challenges outside of the industry. After spending most of my life overweight, I decided it was time to make a dramatic step towards ending my lifelong battle. I will undergo bariatric surgery in mid October 2010, and wanted to share each step of the way with others who are either going through it, or are thinking of doing it in the future. I will be completely honest…the good and the bad. Hopefully this will help me and possibly you! Here are my beginning stats: 6 foot, male, 360 pounds. Waist: 57 inches. Chest: 61 inches. Hopefully the first two of those stats will not change!
