Eight years and going strong
« on: May 04, 2018, 08:35:23 am »
A very brief update. On Monday I had MRI #18 at 730 am and about 930am my surgeon told me it looks the same as it did two years ago. Back again in two years for a 10 year follow-up and then likely go to longer period between appointments. So all good news. Most of the discussion was about the fact that my weight is exactly 100 pounds less than it was in 2016.

All good news. Luck and love to everyone.
