Got my first PSA results after the surgery, less than 1/10 of one point, which means I am clean (For now). Now, only 10 more tests, one every 6 months for the next 5 years showing the same results and I am considered cured. :D


To Celebrate I got on the bike and did a couple of miles.

I'm familiar with two types. Hard-tail and Soft-tail. Hard-tail is your standard bike that most folks ride. Shocks in the front only. Soft-tail has shocks in front and back. There are many different soft-tail configurations. I don't own one, but I'd like to. Not sure how much I'd ride it. At 66/yrs, not sure the old body could handle all the shock and awe some of the rocky trails have?

Components should be very important. I like Shimano Deore XT for the derailleurs but I'm sure there are others that are just as competitive. You can probably pick up a decent new bike for $1K and a used one for half that?

Of course, you need somewhere to ride? Here in Colorado and in Utah, the trails are endless. And I agree with Terry, Moab is a mtn bikers dream destination.

Mtn biking and road biking are sooooo different, and I love them both. when I am on my road bike it is a zen like experience, becoming one with the bike, the repetitive motion of your legs, it is very calming and peaceful for me. Mtn biking on the other hand is an "E"ticket ride, better than roller coaster you have ever ridden. It is total concentration and depending on the grade, total fear. Like I said, I love them both.

As far as what 2mf said, I wish I had gotten a soft tail, but I will ride my hard tail for a couple of years and then move to a soft tail. I got a Giant 29' Tracker for 900.00 and it is one sweet ride.

      Hi everyone! I’m brand new here. I just went through all my pre-op requirements per my insurance company and now everything has been submitted and I’m just waiting for final approval and my surgery date. I’ve been doing research, watching YouTube videos, TikTok’s, ect.. trying to prepare my mind and what to expect so I’ll be ready for the surgery. I was so sure and so set and so ready and excited. However, now that I’ve done everything & it’s almost here, I am sooooooo scared! I know why I want it bc I’ve tried everything and I just don’t feel like I can lose weight by myself. I’m tired of being overweight my entire life. I’m miserable, but I keep psyching myself out afraid of GERD bc I know how that can be and I don’t want to have to get a bypass after already gaining the courage to even get VSG. I’m scared of complications like I’mgoing to regret doing it and be depressed that I didn’t just be more disciplined and try again to lose the weight on my own even sitting here typing this knowing in my mind i just can’t and don’t possess the discipline. I’m also afraid I won’t be able to handle the restrictions of the sleeve. What do I eat? I don’t know how to eat healthy really and don’t enjoy healthy food. I don’t know how to do this! I feel so defeated!Someone tell me they felt anything similar to this or am I not ready? I thought I was. I am so tired of being sick and tired and so tired of myself and so tired of being stuck and stuck in this body and somebody different on the outside from what I feel inside. I just want to ball up and cry.

      Had a sleeve in 2017, lost over 100 pounds. Had a DS surgery this year (2025) for more sustainable weight loss. 🤞
