Tiny Tummy Dispatch: Day 1

Tiny Tummy Dispatch, day 1: I still have a lot to accomplish in this world and need a healthy body to do so. So, after three years of research & counseling, I had gastric sleeve surgery yesterday. I'm not sharing for sympathy, I'm sharing because there are so many victories that come along with this experience that I really want to share. The first, of course, is making it through surgery. The second is the 12 laps I just did around the hospital floor when the nurse asked me for 3 because... overachiever.
