Thank you! God has done so much for me. I told my wife when we started getting serious that I was informed that due to the high levels of chemotherapy that I had that I would likely not be able to have children. Then, next thing you know she was pregnant with our son. God is great!! Thanks again for the nice compliments and supporting cancer survivors!

Well, Monday will be two weeks since surgery and I'm looking forward to getting cleared for more exercise. As of now I'm allowed walking (which I have been doing). I am calling my Dr. Early Monday morning to find out exactly what all I can do. I look forward to pushing myself like I haven't in years. There's a 5k the 8th of June for a cancer organization that I volunteer with. I'm not sure if I would be ready by then though (I would definitely have to walk the majority at this point). If not there are tons of events throughout the year. I'm in Ohio, the cold doesn't bother me

I would love to get to the shape I was in during high school football season. Mainly what we did was cardio, weight lifting, cardio, cardio, cardio, weight lifting, get cussed out for an hour, cardio Lol

I need to get a plan or schedule together to stick to! If its waking up at 6 and exercising before my wife heads off to work then that's what I need to do! I haven't been able to run for long distances (quarter mile, that's a LONG distance when you are near 400 lbs) in years!

Had to keep going back and forth. Can't believe it is the same person. great job!!

Thanks everyone!! You guys (and gals ) are so supportive!! I have to say that I do kind if smile or even chuckle at the thought of ME being an inspiration. I appreciate that compliment and I sure hope that I can help other people in their journeys even though mine is still in the baby stage!

Catwhisperer, Thanks! You are such a positive person, I know that you will be successful! You have really taken the time to research everything and I know you will be successful with your very new band!

Mis73, Thank you for the compliments! I have to say that I definitely don't take any compliment that you give lightly! You have accomplished so much and your story is so inspirational! I look forward to reading your comments on posts and you are very committed to helping us newbies out along this journey to save our lives!!

Drehn, thank you!! I love having people who share the same date as me! Heck I love having the same, week, month, but it's very cool to have a few friends with the exact day! Our journeys have already proved to be different but we will end up at the same place! Successful banders!

Wendy, thank you! The more I look at it the crazier it seems to me too! It's funny how even though you see yourself in the mirror everyday you don't notice the changes. But, when you compare pictures side by side it's hard to deny the changes! Thanks again for your kind words! I do appreciate them!
