Return

I have been away for quite awhile now.  No real reason except that I have been very busy with other responsibilities.  I had to come on today to share some news with my friends.  I had my surgery 0n 4/30/2007.  I was 289 pounds and morbidly obese.  Today I am 197 and finally broke the barrier with a BMI of 29.9.  I am now overwieght.  I have left my Diabetes behind.  My Sleep apnea is still there, but I have a lower setting.  Reduced at this time by 25%. It has been a interesting ride so far.  I am now in the gym at least three times a week and working out for about two hours splitting the time between weights and cardio exerises. Just wanted to share this with you guys. drjco

John Glad to have you back.  I had hoped to see you this past Saturday at the Walk From Obesity in CLT.   Actually weekend before last I think I saw you at the South Park Mall.  I tried to get your attn, but you didn't hear me.  I was chasing my 1.5 year old so I really couldn't run after you. Anyway - glad to have you back on the board and congrats on making it to onederland.  It's a good place to be. Take care Chris

Chris, I was at the South park Mall last week.  Sorry we didn't get together.  I am very pleased with the results of the surgery.  I haven't felt this good in a while. John

Great to see you again and hear about the health improvements. Congrats and welcome back,

Dave

Thanks Dave, I am spending many hours in the gym and that feels great. drjco
