Celebrate my one year Surgical Anniversary!

On Monday, July 28, 2014 Dr. Alan Leslie Schuricht performed a gastric sleeve on me at Pennsylvania Hospital where I weighed 343 pounds (my high weight was 363 pounds) and a year later I am 143 pounds lighter and weigh 220 pounds! Thanks Dr. Schuricht and Penn Bariatric Medicine! Thanks to the following: Dr. Sara Slattery and the team from Penn Medicine Fitness Now; Beth Marks, www.GetFitNowNJ.com and Kennedy Health Bariatric Fitness; Personal trainers from the YMCA of Burlington and Camden County! I am also thankful today to my beautiful wife, Jan and my great kids Liz and Matt!
