Wow, it's been a while since I've blogged...guess it's time to stretch the fingers a bit...to anyone who is wondering...the surgery is a major success...I passed my 3 year surgiversary January 24, 2014 and as of two days ago, I weighed less than I have ever weighed along this journey...133.6. So, yes, the surgery works. I have been off the bike since last fall with the exception of one ride in January this year on a warmer day where my husband and I couldn't stand being inside any more and took the plunge and went for it. There was snow on the ground but the sun was shining and it was a short ride but it was wonderful.
Anyway, if you are considering the vertical sleeve gastrectomy, go for it. It changed my life for the better, and it will yours too. Check your doctor's credentials, but by all means, go for it if it feels right!
Namaste!
