It has been one year since my consult.

Jul 31, 2009

Today marks one year since my consult at Barix Clinics in Langhorne, Pa. To recap wat has been since then. I am down about 105 pounds from 358.4 to 253.  From a size 50 pants to a size 40, Size 4xl, that's xxxxl to 2xl. I cut that in half.lol
I feel 1000000000000000000000% better. I don't recognize the person in the mirror. Still adjusting to that. The surgery which was the best thing I did in my life , wether I reach goal or not, has dramatically made my life better. I will say this until I die. I should have done it sooner and would do it again if need be.
My ankle is still screwed up, got my new brace, almost out of the the boot, got  to get a special rocker for my regular shoes so the the new brace works the way it is suppose to.
I have biking my ass off since the high impact aerobic exercise bann has been placed on me. I always loved to bike even as a fat kid. I am trying to mentally prepare myself to do the American Cancer Society Bike-a-thon next year. 66 miles.
I did it this year but I was in a nice cozy air conditioned paramedic suv. I was so eager to get out and hop on somebody's bike and ride ride ride.

My thanks goes out to everybody at Barix Clinics, from Dr. Pupkova and office staff, the staff in the hospital, the support group leaders Mike and Katie( one of these I promise to get back up there). The People on OH( so many to name, it is simply amazing here, you guys rock!! My gf Lois,  my friends and family.

Thank you all for giving me my life back.
