I had my sleeve 10-29-12. I just returned from Las Vegas, my first time there. My youngest daughter got married there. At my high weight of 280#, I could have never walked endlessly all over Vegas to see the sights as well as all the walking I did at the Grand Canyon (incredible), but, at 170 #, I have the stamina and energy to do it. But, the hightlight of my trip (aside from seeing my baby get married) is that I've always wanted to go zip lining. I went zip lining 5 stories up over old Vegas.It was a little scary looking down that far, before launch.Once launched,it was like flying, and so much fun. I could have immediately done it 20 more times.Out of a group of about 20 of us that went, I was the only "oldster" that did it. I'm 55 and the other 2 that did it were in their twenties. I have a bucket list of things I'd have never dreamed of doing at 280#, the next on the list  is para-sailing.For those of you on the fence about WLS or the very new post-op, it's never to late to make your dreams happen and have the healthiest and best life you can. Blessings to all !!!

A trip on the zipline is my next reward for walking 50 miles this month!   Congrats on such a job well done!
