Good for you! I can't see any of the pictures in your OP, but I can see the one in the second one.
Yeah, it has been 12 years!! After the first few years you stop thinking about what has happened. Hopefully you (I) have put into place the things I need to stay healthy for quite awhile. I was 196 on my 12 year surgery (RNY). Here is what I look like today.

I've gotten older...Turned 63. Surgery doesn't help with age!! Will live with the turkey neck...A badge of honor. Would I do it again?? In a heartbeat. I was dying when I had the surgery (congestive heart failure). The surgery gave me a new life. I cut out a lot of sugar and fried foods. I'll eat some, but I don't go hog wild. I got down to a low of 187. I then gained back up to about 235 over the years. Each year I will put a picture of what I look like near my surgery date (so new people can see what to expect). I do a lot of physical work. When I am not working I will exercise (bicycle or walking). Life is good...
196 this week again...High of about 300. It was 12 years ago today I had my surgery...Will post a little something about the journey. Later, Brian
Rainy is the norm here. It is the rare day when it DOESN'T rain. I feel your pain. Thank you. Surgery was easy, easier than recovery. But all is going well.

Bill, good to hear you made it through surgery well. Work is ramping up and I haven't been checking the boards that often.
Weather is turning, and I have a lot of stuff to still get done. Been rainy so yard work on hold, and damn grubs are decimating the lawn. Time to buy some bad stuff to take care of business.
Good week to all!
Good morning. I went to Defcon 4 on the constipation protocol this week. Suffice to say that if you drink 11 ounces of Magnesium Citrate and that doesn't work then things start to get unpleasant. The dam broke around 3:30 Wednesday and I have been on Miralax ever since which seems to be helping.
I am going to the Blackhawks game tonight. We have season tickets but I think this may be my last year. Its gotten harder to sell unwanted games with the decline of the teams play. And my kids are getting older/have moved out and don't really have much interest. Wife and daughter are in Dallas for the Taylor Swift concert this weekend.
Another great week for football. Watched parts of the Texas/Oklahoma and Notre Dame/Va. Tech games and about a drive of LSU/Florida. Baylor won. If they can sneak off with two of their last six they may be able to make the Liberty Bowl. I would like to go to that Bowl mainly because I would like to see the Civil War battle field at Shiloh.
