Guest guest Posted March 25, 2004 Report Share Posted March 25, 2004 , I tip my hat off to ya!! That is soooo exciting, I too have always wanted to go scuba diving and also hang gliding but my weight was always a restriction. I am 10 mos post op too and down 128lbs and now am able to start thinking about doing the things I've always wanted to do. I also have a 5wk old baby, so I'll have to wait just a little longer before actually being able to do these things. Feeling the excitement from your post makes me more motivated to have it become a reality! I can hardly wait now! Thanks for your encouragement!! Good luck on your classes and when you finally get to go out there, I'm sure it will be an experience of a lifetime. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
