1 Year Surgiversary

 Good morning everyone,

Wow, it is so hard to believe that today is 1 year since I had my RNY surgery.  I am down a whopping 149 pounds!!!!  It's amazing how much my life has changed in this short period of time and how fast the year went by.

A year ago I was bombarded with issues such as horrible acid reflux, walking with a cane, depression and so many other issues.  I am truly a new man.  

The challenge now is to continue to maintain my weight loss.

What a terrific feeling.

I hope everyone has a great day.

Congrats! I can't believe it's been a year already! You have come so far from a rocky beginning.

Geoff, congratulations! It's amazing to look back a year isn't it?

many many congrats.  It is an awesome feeling.  We are babies in the world of WLS but what a ride its been. 

have a wonderful day Geoff!!!!!!

Congratulations Geoff!! That is amazing - I know your journey has had more bumps than some but you've been a trooper and have done an amazing job with your tool. Still sending prayers that you're pain-free soon as well

Keep on successing!!

Geoff,

My gosh, time flies!  Can't believe it's been a year since your surgery!  In that time you've faced a lot of challenges and setbacks, but you've kept your focus, stuck to your guns, and now you're reaping the rewards of your new life.  Truly inspirational!

As you face the next year, just keep focusing on your goals and why you made this radical change.  Don't let yourself get "comfy" in it - don't lose the fear - and don't let yourself feel like "it's DONE"... in reality, it's never "done"  because the continued journey is what keeps us healthy in the long run.

Happy re-birthday!

Karen

Congrats!!!! Wow you should be soooooo proud of all your hard work and all that you have gone through to make it to this point!! Enjoy your day and wishing you all the best in the years to come!!!!

Congratulations on Year 1 .     Wishing you many, many more years of continued good health!

 Thanks everyone for the kind words, they are truly appreciated.  I must say that I could not have succeeded in my journey without you guys.  You all have been so inspirational to me.  Liz I don't know what I would have done had you not been in there in the very beginning when I was facing so many issues and so scared out of my mind.  I will always be indebted to you!!

I am slowly recovering from the car accident, happy to be back at work.  Going to a lot of physical therapy.  They are talking about giving me an epidoral in my neck, but just trying to roll with the punches.  I just want to get out of pain and back to the gym.  

Time has surely flown by and I am grateful for everyday of the experience and just plan to stay focused, and hopefully this will be the very last time that I say "This is the last time I will ever have to lose weight".  I hope I have learned my lesson well the hard way.

Thank you to you all.

Lots of Love,
Geoff
