My husband is from NY, and been trying to get me to go for the longest. This would be a wonderful experience and trip for the both of us!

You are VERY WELCOME Michele!
And....thanks for sharing your story too!
My father also recently (7/15) had a double bypass and aortic valve replacement. He is living with us as he recuperates.
Wishing you continued good luck and health on your journey!
If you are ever on Long Island, please let me know, meanwhile, lets get to know each other better here and see how we can help each other!

Thanks for sharing - you are an inspiration!
'I am so grateful for my troubles. As I reflect back on my life, I have come to realize my greatest triumphs have been born from my greatest troubles."
This quote has really hit home with me. It's been true to this point in my life, and you are so right... it totally applies for the newest challenges I will face that having had weight loss surgery July 27th.
Five days before my surgery, my father also had to have open heart surgery. He had a heart attack on the day he was to be discharged from the hospital after having a hip replacement. The cir****tances were nothing we expected or prepared for, but in hind-sight... saved his life. If it would have happened outside the hospital setting, we would have lost him. If there was any doubt in my mind that I was doing the right thing, getting the sleeve, this convinced me I made the right decision. I was following in my father's foot-steps and that may someday have been me. I am hoping we both endured life-saving surgeries - 5 days apart.
The good news is we are both doing very well... I'm going back to work tomorrow, and he is gaining strength every day to get back to his life... we are both fortunate.
Once again, thanks for sharing - and congratulations on your 5 year surgiversary! You look awesome!
