BG -- I've yo-yo'd too over the last 10 to 15 years, so I know what you're feeling. Somehow or another, though, I really believe in the band's ability to help me keep the weight off this time. SO, all my 2X tops have already gone to my sister (who weighs a bit more than me, but is also losing w/her band). I'm having a slightly harder time w/giving up my larger sized pants, but really...size 24s when I can wear some 16Ws...that was just ridiculous. I'm definitely going to search through my closets and start culling the 22s here pretty quick. Believe it...we really ARE going to keep it off this time. Delma

Hey, Courtney: I love your ID. Too funny. I'm going to get that song stuck in my head and I'm gonna blame you!

How'd your sleep study go? That was such a bizarre experience. Twice. I've used my CPAP machine religiously and it has always been very helpful. Last night was the first time I have ever NOT been able to sleep with it on. I'm 8 days post-op and with the pre-op diet and the cycling I did beforehand, I've lost something like 10% of my body weight, so my CPAP may need an adjustment. Not sure why I'm telling you all this!! Just ignore if not interested!

Hope all of your testing goes well and that you're on the road and banded soon. Delma
