Thanks Cammy... I'll be drinking water and waiting for my whoosh!

Wow.. I love your list! So many things on there are on mine! Do yoga correctly, cross my legs, stop shopping at Lane Bryant because the clothes aren't very good quality and I've been mad at them since they changed their jean sizing to" 1 2 3 triangle" or whatever! I wear a swimsuit but it's really humiliating right now. Wrapping a normal size towel would be great instead of hunting down a "bath sheet". One thing I would add to my list is to ride a horse! I used to do that some as a kid and I haven't been able to as an adult for pity of the animal that would have to carry me. Riding a horse in the wine country.. now that sounds like fun!

Yikes! This post freaked me out! It sounds like my hysterectomy experience and I thought this would be much easier. It looks as if it's written by a man, I would love a female perspective on if the pain was all that bad.

Ooh.. that is good news! A few months after I had my hysterectomy my husband brought up the idea of us getting lap bands and I said .. you first! Mostly because I was not ready to endure any more surgery that soon after the hysterectomy and a c-section just 18months before. However, it has been with very mixed emotions I have watched him lose over 100lbs since his lap band was put in. I'm very happy for him but since the economy issues and the refusal of my insurance company to pay for my surgery I have not been able to follow him to his new thin and happy world. I am so excited there is an opportunity to do it less expensively and I'm just searching for the right surgeon so I can book my appt and get started!
