Been banded over 4 years, lost all my weight a while back...so I don't get NSV';s that often anymore....

But Saturday Night was a big one!

First, I graduated HS in 1970....I weighed 165, played football, ran track, etc.

There is a class mate, who has become a very popular comedian, tours all over the world, TV, Movies...etc. (I'm not going to mention his name)

Well the word went out through face book, that he would be the headline act at "Catch a Rising Star" here in New Jersey....and people from the Class of 70 were being contacted to attend...sort of a mini reunion....which a good number of us did.

To get to the point, people I have not seen in over 40 years were there....of course everyone was thrilled to see each other. Lots of Love going around!.....and everyone could not get over how I have not changed one bit...I am still the same weight, and I am still in tip-top shape as I was in High School! People said I have obviously done pretty good for myself.

The joke was, where everyone is getting older...I am gong in the opposite direction!

IF THEY ONLY KNEW!!!! It's been over 40 years and they do not know I was once morbidly obese, was once a diabetic, have cardiac issues, along with a long list of other things.

And as a last resort, I had to undergo Bariatric Weight Loss Surgery...and only then did I turn my life around....but they don't know, and that's just fine with me....just let it ride.

I was walking on air all night, and it was not just the alcohol we were consuming! (of course we partied!)

Stuff like his makes it all worth it....best decision I ever made!

Congrats B-52.

I agree. Sometimes its best to just let ride. And enjoy!

This was a great NSV to read! Congratulations on your success!!

I love this story, B-52.

GREAT NSV!

Wonderful story. No one needs to know you had WLS. You followed a strict diet and exercised. You stuck to a plan and followed it. Way to go.
