Guest guest Posted September 11, 2001 Report Share Posted September 11, 2001 Hi its been awhile since I posted. September 13 Th. is my 2nd anniversary of my surgery by Doc Gagner. I just wanted to say it also is the 2nd anniversary of my new life. My expectations of this surgery far exceed anything I ever expected. I have gone from a couch potato to not having enough time in the day to enjoy all my new activities. I am alive. Living life to the fullest. My 2 goals have been reached. My goal of 225 lbs, well been there done that. I'm at 209 lbs. My most important goal is that of continuous good health and I'm there too. I have tried everything from parasailing, jet skiing, biking all over. I am now a certified New York State high school umpire, Umpiring a dream of mine since I was a teenager..maybe someday the big leagues haha. Snorkeling and now I'm going on a cruise and I want to learn to scuba dive. And I will. My family loves every minute of our new life. My wife Lori is the greatest support anyone could have. She and my children are my life. Everyday for me is Thanksgiving, I wake up in the morning and thank God and Doc Gagner for saving my life, and thanks for everything that I have accomplished. I know that if I didn't have the surgery 2 years ago I would not be alive today. So as my life gets better everyday let me just say to anyone who is thinking about having the surgery...........
