Vsg021412

I had vsg 2-14-12 and did my first half marathon 5 weeks post op then ended up with a total of 11 completed thru dec 2012. I have 10 half marathons and 2 full already set for this year I'm addicted to running now but by no means a fast runner

Valentines day will be my 1 year surgiversary ????

I'm in Modesto and I had my vsg Feb 14th

I was a 36 BMI on the day of surgery and I feel I am doing well with my weight loss. Just remember its a tool to help you so don't abuse it and with a lifestyle change you should do very well :-)

I have been very blessed with no problems and I'm happy with my weight loss I am down 117 from my heaviest and 85 from jan 3rd when I made the choice and 57 since surgery. I have ran 3 half marathons since surgery and loving life!!

I live in Modesto and had to use the Fresno Kaiser. I guess I got lucky because I had only a 6 week exactly time frame from when I said yes to surgery until the day I had surgery. I'm sorry for those who are having the trouble getting approved.

Count me in too :-)

I'm doing my 2nd half this Sunday in San Francisco ... I'll be almost 12 weeks post op

We have to be friends with someone on FB in order to be put into group ... So who is gonna make the group lLOL

Ok so how are we doing this group?? Lotus4me I found on FB I'm thinking of creating a separate FB acct with my screen name here it's easy enough to do is that how everyone else thinks we should do it?

I was sleeved 2-14-12 and very happy I did it!!

Isn't that for men only ???

I did the half marathon and yet I walked most of it I am very proud to have done it at almost 5weeks post op. I jogged a 1/4 mile every mile throughtout my 13.1 mile journey and completed it under 3hrs and 30 mins. I can't wait to do more :-)

I am 4 weeks post op and will be doing a half marathon this Sunday... I will be walking and jogging it but hey it's a start and I am excited to do more
