JAKE H 1,230 Posted December 5, 2022 Been a while since ive been on here, but just wanted post this for anyone it might help. 3.5 years since i got the surgery and its still by far the best thing i ever did. Back in November i completed a 33 mile ultra trail run. Something i never thought i would do. Im extremely proud of it and cant wait to set new goals. Fitness has made this journey that much easier and I love every aspect of it. Hopefully this will encourage someone!!! IF youre thinking about the surgery, do it. 5 1 4 1 Nepenthe44, kaylee50, kcuster83 and 8 others reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Recidivist 1,141 Posted December 6, 2022 Jake, that is so inspiring! I'm also 3.5 years out. While I'm "thin," I'm not fit, and I've decided that 2023 is the year I'm going to get to a gym to increase my core strength, stamina, and endurance. If you can run 33 miles, I can certainly drag myself to a gym several time a week. Thanks for posting! 1 1 JAKE H and kcuster83 reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
