Surgiversary
I was 61 when I had this surgery. Don't even try to do the math and figure out how old I am now! There have been a lot of changes in my life during the past year. One thing I have found out though, is that I'm still old. haha
My energy has returned, no problem with climbing stairs, shopping, or doing housework (darn it). It is very exciting for me to go on a plane trip and not have to worry about the problems I used to have when I was so overweight. I find I am still not able to keep up with my grandkids.
I still have to take a small amount of insulin. My blood pressure is still a little high. Other than that, most of my comorbidities are gone.
I find it is very easy to start thinking I'm normal. It takes diligence to continue taking the vitamins, drinking enough water, and getting in enough protein. It's worth the effort though as I 'm sure everyone else who has had this surgery agrees with me.
Good luck to all those just starting on this journey. I wish you all the problem free journey that I've had.

Happy Surgiversary Sandi!!!! You've come a long way baby!!!! Evan after 4 years out and only being 40 years old, I still can't keep up with my grandson, so don't feel bad.... They just have WAY more energy than us I think... LOL... But we can keep up better than if we had not lost the weight.... Congrats on a great success.

A couple of people have said it sounds like I am feeling down and I just wanted you to know... I'm not. I guess I have a dry sense of humor but I am actually smiling as I was writing the review.
Tomorrow, I am going to try a Zumba Gold class at the Roseville Recreation Center. I don't know if I can do it, but it sounds like fun.
Incidentally, I have apparently forgotten the pin number for my ticker tape so I have been unable to update it for a while.
