Well let's see this summer was the first summer ever I've been able to wear cute short summer dresses and I'm 42 might not seem like a big deal to most but I felt beautiful and sexy so that alone was worth the sugery and I started dating again after 9 1/2 years.

That is very cool!

After surgery I probably won't try to wear summer dresses.......and my wife would probably object to any dating......but I'm definitely hoping for some major changes apart from just the weight loss. It sounds like this has been a life changer for you and it's very encouraging to hear!

Congratulations by the way!

I can shop in regular stores and shop for clothing cut for women, instead of men's XL.

I can swing up into my saddle without having to find a log or rock to stand on. And a I don't feel bad about making my horse pack me around the mountains.

I can walk up hills or up stairs without getting winded.

I can make it through a whole work day on my feet without my knees and ankles screaming in pain.

I wake up in the morning after being at a party the night before and not be hungover.

My monthly bank statement keeps getting bigger because my grocery store/liquor store/restaurant bills are so much less.

I can run a mile nonstop. I am really starting to like skinny jeans. I love lifting weights.

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

      The 14th was my day. I am home and recovery is going pretty smooth. They even let me walk out of the hospital. Picture of me in recovery curtesy of my boyfriend lol.
