Bo,

That is awesome. We all need to periodically take stock of where we've been to keep us headed in the right direction. I will never be Mr. Universe but I take the wrinkles, excess skin, and man boobs as badges of honor of the accomplishments in the weight loss and better health that I have achieved. The surgery just gives us the tool, but it is up to us to use it and be successful.

May you continue to be successful and inspire others.

- Mike

Happy Surgiversary my friend. We have seen so much together since I first met you in 2004. I remember you saying you wanted to have children one day and it was beautiful to see that come to fruition. And now you are about to take another important step..... I'm so happy for you. Sorry I'm a day late....Congrats!!
Hugs, Y

Have you looked into a revision to ds?

Why?

While he may not even be NEAR a normal or healthy BMI, he still beats the regular RNY maintenance stats, particularly for 10 years out. He is viewed as a success by bariatric standards. If he's happy with that, so be it.
