After 57 years on this earth watching my weight go up, down, sideways and all around. Yesterday, I registered to have lap band surgery!

I reached the bottom line. All the fad diets, all the no carb diets, pills, HCG injections every Weightloss scam is put to rest and I have finally took charge of "MY" life.

I am in the early stages of my journey. Wish me luck and I will check in from time to time with my progress!

Have a great day!

A year ago I was where you are now! Get ready for a lot of amazing things opening up in your life. I love my Lapband. Love being out of food jail. Love being able to reinvent my life in my fifties. Love it that I like to exercise now (moi?). Love my size ten jeans. Honestly I would not have thought that possible. It's all possible -- best decision I have made in a long time.

Best of luck. I started my journey in August. My weight is moving slowly, I cannot do high impact exercising. I am ok with slowly moving down the scale as long as I keep going down.

        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!!
