Hi William :) Rg your question rg men going for this surgery, ABSOLUTELY it is normal :) There are MANY men who've had the surgery in my in-person support group through my surgeon's office. I'd say 60% are women and 40% are men from the group. You are lucky in that men tend to lose MUCH faster than women and tend to retain more muscle with their loss. As for getting started, I would suggest checking the listings here on ObesityHelp.com for surgeons in your area. Then start calling them and find out who accepts your insurance. Having a PCP also certainly helps. You can also check out one of the many online support groups through YahooGroups such as Gastric_Bypass_Family at http://groups.yahoo.com/group/gastric_bypass_family . Wishing you lots of success in your journey! Caroline
