Today is my ONE YEAR ANNIVERSARY of having this beautiful piece of plastic placed in me...... What a difference a year makes:

I'm at the gym SIX DAYS A WEEK !!!!!

My elliptical and I have a SIXTY-FIVE MINUTE affair every day !!!!!!

I eat like a NORMAL PERSON !!!!!!

I LOOK like a NORMAL PERSON !!!!!!

My BLOOD PRESSURE has been in the 107/72 range whenever taken !!!!!!!

My SOCIAL LIFE is phenomenal !!!!!!!!!

I wear a size 12 pant, a size 12 dress, and a Large shirt !!!!!!

I buttoned and zippered my daughter's high school uniform skirt that she wore five years ago (cleaning out her closet after she moved out last month and I couldn't resist trying it on)!!!!!!!

I weigh less than I did on my wedding day 26 years ago !!!!!

I had the added pleasure of watching my husband become a HEALTHYNEW ME...... He's lost 60 pounds and is at the gym six days a week too!!!!!!

I've met so many wonderful people on this forum...... I had the pleasure on meeting in person GoWalking and LisaCaron and I have spoken on the phone with Rebeccaabrooks86.

Can you tell that I'm in love with my band?????

      It's been a bit of a struggle this last week...I'm hungry ALL the time.

        Have a great Wednesday too! Sorry you're hungry all the time, I'm pretty much the same..and I'm sick of eating the same food all the time.

      Well, tomorrow I go in for an impromptu hiatal hernia repair after ending up in the ER over the weekend because I couldn't get food down and water was moving at a trickle... I've been having these symptoms on and off for a few weeks but Sunday was the worst by far and came with chest pain and trouble breathing. The ER PA thinks it is just esophagitis and that the surgeon and radiologist are wrong. But the bariatric surgeon swears it is a hernia, possibly a sliding one based on my symptoms. So he fit me into his schedule this week to repair it! I hope he's right and this sorts it out. He's going to do a scope afterwards to be sure there is nothing wrong with the esophagus. Here's hoping it all goes well!!

      Having gall bladder surgery in a few days and I so hope the recovery is easier than the one from the modified DS! I could use a bit of luck/pep talk for a change. I'm starting to be able to walk around without experiencing dizziness, but it would be great if the random pain in my chest and abdomen would go away!!
