surgiversary ... 3 yrs and 8 yrs
It has been 3 years since my DS revision. and 8 years since my first surgery.
I am not sorry I had the DS at all ! What a ride it has been. I have kept off about 125-130 pounds depending on the day. Yup, I flucuate a bit, like a normal person would.
I used to be here a lot, but I am out living life now. I try to stop in once in awhile. The best advice I can give anyone in the process is to be sure you go with a vetted doc and do it right the first time. You can get that list at www.dsfacts.com Also be prepared to take care of yourself and be proactive with vits and bloodwork to stay healthy.
Last week I hiked up 6643 ft in a short half mile incline, so it was pretty darn steep. I have to keep telling myself, I could of never done that before the DS. Views were awesome at the top ! Now if my eyes would just adjust ! Maybe by year 10 they will !
