I am now passed my first year. I feel great and have my one year follow up scheduled. It's strange to me how this surgery could feel so recent, but also like some distant memory at the same time.

Congratulations! I totally get the distant dream thing as well as feeling like it was just a few weeks ago. There's no hiding the scars we have to remind us what we've been through and accomplished. We just have to keep moving forward.
