Congrats Bugwitch -- I had my surgery in March and our little group that month was called the Shrinking Shamrocks! You're gonna love the progress.

Also, for all, I am so proud to report that I did get my act together and started setting my alarm for 5:30 a.m. and I'm going into my job where I have a great gym for workouts and I'm hitting the treadmill and weight machines at least 3 days a week. Trying to get up to even more. Today I did 20+ minutes with Walk at 2.7 MPH and then JOG at 4.2 MPH for 2 minutes so a 50/50 mix of walking and jogging. Really gets the heart rate up and a sweat going. I am trying to get my endurance up to where I can do 30 minutes of the 50/50 combo and then try to get to a higher percent of jog compared to walk. Key is get moving and stay moving! I'm not going to let life pass me by!

Bugwitch - Best of luck on your trip and surgery. Looks like we will be having surgery a few days apart.

I finally have my surgery date. I am all set for 3/24/11 at OSU with Dr. Needleman. Granted I have not had the surgery yet but to this point I cant say enough about how great OSU and Cigna have been through this process. It has been a long journey and im excited to keep it moving.

Congrats to both of you upcoming May banding buddies. We have our Columbus group informal get together on the 2nd Saturday each month at the Polaris Mall food court area - 2-4 p.m. we sit in the corner by all the kiddie rides by Great Indoors and Chik-fil-A. Post on here to let us know if you guys need anything or questions. I was actually feeling pretty good the next day after surgery so if you are up to a outing, stop at the mall.

Dr Mikami did my surgery in late 2008. Currently training for my 2nd marathon! Good luck, I'm sure it will go well.

      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.
