Well,

Just a little update, as of today I have lost 100.6 pounds and it feels great. I am getting my life back, doing things I have not done in years and looking forward to doing a lot more.

I am getting my Open Water Diver's Cert. renewed next month and plan to spend a lot of time underwater this summer. This is something that I loved to do 15 years ago and lost it to over eating. Friends and family are seeing me crawl under vehicles to do the work myself instead of having to ask my son or nephew to do it. Heck I can even get off the ground without having to grab ahold of something to pull myself up. I'm riding my motorcycle more, life is just great.

The vertical sleeve is the best thing I have ever done for myself. Even if I didn't get any help from my insurance company.

But you know I feel the best thing coming from this is I feel I will be on this Earth a little longer and get to spend more time with my wonderful kids and grandchild.

Once again thanks to all the people on this site for your posts, prayers and friendship.

A special thanks to my sleevebuddy Keys Pirate and her husband Rich for their friendship.

I hope everyone has a great week and good luck on your weight loss journey.

Gary

Hey Carol,

You go girl, 71 lbs is great. Cannot wait to see what our after picture looks like in Sept.

My wife is excited about coming, said she will leave the diving up to us but enjoy being on the boat and getting to see the ocean again.

Wow 71 lbs that is great.

See you guys in Sept.

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
