So let’s talk about something we don’t talk about. Many of us (programmers) are significantly overweight. You see it at every conference. I’ve heard 3xl referred to as a programmer’s medium.
This year I decided to do something about it before it (literally) kills me.
On May 17 I began the process and lost 55# before having a Bariatric Sleeve Gastrectomy. at Emerson Hospital in Concord MA (they were truly great).
My goal is to lose another 90#, about 60 of that this year. We’ll see.
I’m not advocating surgery; I’m not advocating anything, except that we take this out of the “we don’t talk about that” box and open up the discussion.
Feel free to comment or ignore, but let’s keep the discussion friendly.
Follow up December 2024. I overshot my goal. I had hoped to get down to 220, then to 200, but ended up at 190. It has changed my life, all for the good.
The truth is, the first year is miserable, but then it becomes effortless. I can’t recommend surgery… what do I know?… but for me it was one of the best things I’ve done.
