I just got home from the support group meeting and it was amazing as usual.  I got to see some fantastic folks.

I know there are some people with MUCH longer rides than me and I wanted to wish them a safe trip.

Have a good night everyone!

Agreed - it was great to see everyone and a few new faces.  I'm stoked that I now have someone I can give my clothing to - Mr. Rick/Frank :).

Greg,

I'm still amazed that you actually wore a tuxedo to the meeting... on a Wednesday night... with NO WOMAN on your arm.  But God bless ya, brother... you look great and if you're happy with the results, who am I to bust balls about a tuxedo???  LOL  ;-)

Congratulations on your continued successing,

Mike

Thanks Mike!  I had thought of bringing my wife but could not get a bbsitter. :)  I think my wife will come to the one-year post op meeting (July 15th....close enough to my 7/28 date).

Fitting into my Grade 12 Tuxedo was a big personal milestone for me and I was very happy to share it with a group of people that truly understand these type of personal milestones.  It was even NICER to hear people say "you know, I think the tuxedo is actually a little big on you".

I have a bunch more milestones to hit - and they change as time goes by - but this one was one of the only specific "I want to fit into *that outfit* ".  That "category" is now scratched off my list.  All other milestones are medical health (reach a BMI of xx, blood pressue level, etc), exercise (run at 6MPH for 25 minutes, do a 5km non-for-profit race by July 2009, do a chin up),  general (i.e.: go down 1 more pant sizes, fit into a size 16" neck collar, hit 100lbs down from day of surgery, hit 199lb**** goal, below goal, maintain).  As you can see - most of these I can't really "show" the group.

Always glad to amaze :)  Thanks again Mike - you're a role model to many including myself!

I wish I could make that meeting, but I will be in Ft. Huachuca Arizona. That would be my 2 year post op.... and my happy 2 days after the BIG 3-0!!!

I have to agree with Angela & Dawgpound Patrick? It was nice to see every one & here others stories & struggles. It just motivates me to stay on track & want to do better for myself.
Thanks to everyone.
Good Night!!
