I haven't put anything new in here for some time. Let me start by saying life is good. On March 5th of 2009, I had gastric-bypass surgery. I weighed 325 lbs, After 10 months I am down to 173 lbs. I feel great. I was an insulin dependent diabetic. I have taken nothing for my diabetes since the day I was operated on. All my blood test come out super. It's like being reborn. I have a new and better chance on life. I eat what I want,( you have to make better choices than before the weight loss) but much less than before. I stay away from ice cream and other sweets which led me on the path to obesity. I thank my wife for her support and most importantly, God for his everlasting strength and resolve.
