1 Year Out
Happy surgiversary!!
Your description of what life was like for you in Summer 2016 really resonated with me, I too am 36 and I too can't walk up stairs without being winded, am too hot ALL the time and idea of seeing folks from high school - just no.
Your post is so inspirational, you've had your bumps along the way, but you perservered with the new tool and have ended up with a new you! I hope to follow your example 
Congratulations on all you have achieved over the past year!
