What A Different Vacation This Will Be



Recommended Posts

post-58926-13813670016327_thumb.jpg post-58926-13813670017083_thumb.jpgTwo years ago I went to Sturgis Bike Week in South Dakota. I weighed about 250-257. We are going again this year and I currently weigh 176. I was looking at the pictures from last time and I couldn't believe them. The pictures this year will be so much more fun to take. I can't wait to post them here. I was buying XL or 2XL t-shirts last time and now I will be buying large. Even though the weight loss has really slowed down, it's still exciting to see the changes. Here's a picture from 2 years ago and one taken just a few weeks ago. I will post more after vacation.

In 2008 we rode from San Antonio, TX to Sturgis on a Heritage. Awesome trip! We're thinking of doing it again in the next few years.

For whatever reason I couldn't see your pictures. I've never been to Sturgis or out west. Been to Daytona twice. I have been thinking about going next year for our 25th anniversary and know how good I would feel being lighter!

Maybe I'll catch you next year!

Awsome. Went to Key West spring of 2010. Of course we hit it when there was a cold snap. Froze our butts off. So unprepared for cold weather was 85 the week before and week after.

Shape_shifter, I so much prefer Daytona Bike Week over Sturgis but it just hasn't worked out that we have been able to go recenty. Next year I promised my daughter a trip to Disney World so maybe the year after that I'll go to Daytona again. By the way I see you are going to Dr. Kelly. He was my surgeon too and I loved him.

I know you are feeling really good. I am new to this forum and could not open the pic's. Am I doing something wrong?

I'm hoping to make anothe trip to Disney during my next Daytona trip to combine the two since they're so close. I just want to go to Sturgis because we've never been west. In fact my first trip west will be to see Dr. Kelly.

I leave on Friday.

      Just been waiting until time for my consult with my bariatric surgeon. It's scheduled for Jan 9th. Turns out I won't actually be seeing him. Apparently it'll be with his P.A.             Not sure what to expect. I thought this is where the surgeon would discuss the best surgery option for me. For years I had my heart set on the sleeve, but I've read so many people have issues with reflux - even if they've never had it before - that they've had to be revised to the bypass. I already deal with GERD & take 40 mg of Omeprazole daily, so I started studying about bypass and honestly, it seems like it might be the better choice for me. How can we discuss surgery options if the surgeon is not there?
      What happened at your first consult? Trying to get an idea of what to expect, or maybe I should say, what NOT to expect.

      I would like to know what questions you wish you had asked prior to your duodenal switch surgery?
