Rainier kicked my but last time, but I wasn't in nearly as good of shape I am right now and I was 45 lbs heavier too!

    Congrats again on your success. Yes, I also feel like I've hit a homerun with this life changing surgery!!!!
    Thank you for sharing your experience with me and all the kind words. I'm busy training hard and will be involved in training hikes starting in the fall that our for people training to climb various glacial peaks. Training with the Mazama's. I'd love to climb Mt. Rainer, Baker, Mt St. Helens, Hood. Hike around Mt Shasta and near the Crags. Next time Want to go back with somebody willing to go to the top of the Crags. Mt Shasta was just beautiful. People I was with didn't want to hike in snow so we were limited on hikes.
    Good luck with your continued journey. Love hearing success stories not only with weightloss but with activity too. That's what really motivated me. Those people that lost all their weight and went from being inactive for a period of time to climbing mountains, jumping out of panes, participating in marithones, triathlons etc.

I eat healthy and exercise everyday. I joined multiple hiking groups and a cycling group. I love hiking and riding my road bike. I hope to eventually mountain climb. The Sleeve is the best decision I've made next to marring my husband and having my daughter. I haven't been this happy in a very long time. I love I can cross my legs, shave my legs with ease, bend and touch the floor amongst many other things. What a happy day its been‼️
    Thanks fantastic! So glad it's going well for you!

    Thank you so much for the kind words. I can relate to how you feel. That was me for the last 20 years. It all started when I was DX with MS. I spent so much time in darkness. I'm so greatful for a second chance. I'm wasting no time and loving every minute. It's been a lot of hard work with my self and with an amazing therapist but so worth it. You can do it too. I wish you much success and happiness. If you have any questions please feel free to ask. Hope you have a blessed day.
