Do you know what today is?

Mar 08, 2012

It's my anniversary!

Yes, 1 year ago yesterday I had my lap band installed. A lot has happened since then. First, I'm almost 100 lbs lighter! I now run, that's right I said it, run 3 times per week. My resting pulse is around 48 and I feel great! I used to take a hand ful of pills everyday. Now it's just my vitamins an a small blood pressure pill. This brings my natural pressure 147/95 down to 120/80 or lower sometimes.

All of this is not without challenges. I still have difficulty with food. I frequently get obstructed because I eat too fast, or eat the wrong foods. But I wouldn't change things for the world!

Thank you God for giving me my strength. Thank you Bonnie and Myles (my wife and son) for supporting me. Thank you Dr. Silvestri, Dr. Fredericks, and Dr. Viamakis and staff for all your coaching and encouragment.

If you're reading this and you'r saying should I really do this? My answer is do it for you! Do it for your kids! As the president says "Yes we can!"
