9 plus years...

Well back in October it was 9 years (RNY)!!  How time does fly.  Here you see me marrying off my second daughter.  On my bucket list was to be alive to walk both my daughters down the aisle...Done and done.  Notice the suit...Same one I wore on my wedding in 1984.  Each year I try and post a picture for the new guys on this forum...To see what it looks like many years down the road.  Need my daughter to help download the picture...That's why I waited to do my yearly post.  Doing a lot of bike riding and walking.  Mowing the lawn type of things.  Been retired about 1 year now...Just turned 60 in September.  The first few years of WLS is new and exciting.  After awhile you are just living and functioning normal.  Hopefully you've changed your eating habits.  I try and cut back on my sugar...Eat a lot of protein and vegetables...But still eat my dark chocolate.  Last 3 things on my bucket list (Lord willing); to collect social security (at 62), collect on Medicare (at 65)...Just get something back for all that I've paid in.  The last one is for Cal to go to the Rose bowl in my lifetime...Need a full blown miracle!!  As many of you know, when I went to see my cardiologist about 9 1/2 years ago...He said I was dying.  He said maybe WLS could help.  I'm still kicking!!  Life is good.  Brian 

Congratulations on your continued successful WLS journey!
