4 Months After Surgery

Well it has been a busy 4 months. I just had a follow up visit and have lost a total of 65 pounds since surgery! I am currently at 237.5 lbs. This has been such an incredible journey and I have no regrets about having lap band surgery. Not only do I feel a 1000 times better but I am no longer on medication for high blood pressure and I am once again able to enjoy the activities that I once loved. I have a new found passion...bicycling. I joined a women's bicycling group and invested in a good road bike. My longest ride to date is 33 miles. My goal is to do a 50 mile ride by the end of the summer. I have attached a photo from a ride I did on Memorial Day to benefit cancer research. 27 miles in 88 degrees...it was a hot one but I did it!
