I was banded in 2006 by Dr. Farhan. He did a great job! Hurley is a great place for support to get the band. I am so happy that he talked me out of the bypass. It was well worth the effort to get the band! I am so greatful everyday to him and his staff! Thank you!

:( Thanks Cassie! You can do it too--I am no special thing! How long have you been banded?

If there is any way I can help you let me know. I am happy to help anyone--but I tell it like it is the good the bad and the ugly! ;)

BBK...gotta tell you, Girl....you were one of the front runners that I looked to at the beginning of this race. That straight forward, the good the bad and the ugly was very helpful and I thank you for that.

@ Indigo--thank you my dear! :)

@ Apples--I am glad to hear that I could help. You are looking great--are you at goal you tiny thing??

BBK...I hit goal 4 months after banding. I was one the insurance had jump through many hoops b/4 banding and lost over 50lbs b/4 banding. Probably the best thing that could have happened to me. It gave me time to wrap my head around what I was in for and gave me the opportunity to study up what was to come.

Thanks for the wonderful compliment. This 54 yr old feels 30 yrs younger!

Good for you girl! :blink: I bet you are as healthy now as a 16 year old! AND that is what really counts in the end!

Yep BOO BOO, I can run circles around any of my young friends. A lot of perks come with feeling healthy. And, does not bother me a bit to walk into a store and KNOW I will find something! I am sure you know that feeling and it's wonderful.

        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!!
