Haven't been around this board for ages, but I felt this was the perfect day to come back. It hit me yesterday when I realized it was Leap Day, that tomorrow (today) would be March 1st. For me, March 1st marks my 10 year Surgiversary. I still remember as if it were yesterday, the day I walked into Barix Clinic in Langhorne, PA to have Gastric Bypass performed by Dr. Neil Marymor. To say it has changed my life would be an obvious understatement. I admit that, at 10 years out, I don't do everything I'm supposed to....partly because I'm stubborn, and partly because I still have the eyes of a 400 pound man, although I have a 200 pound body. One thing I know for certain, especially considering I had a heart attack a couple years prior to surgery, is that I wouldn't be alive today if it weren't for this surgery.
