Newbie Dee here, hi :-) Just this evening, wending my way around your great website and all it contains i am so glad that i have found lapbandtalk.com! What a great group of people you all seem to be as well. My details are on my profile (or the statistics section?) but i decided on 07/03/10 to have lap-band surgery. Everything has happened rather quickly since then, and given all going well, my surgery date is set to be June 21st 2010.

I have about 123 kg (270lbs) to lose, so it's a bit of a long road for me. Decision made though, and reading all your stories, i have a real feeling of hope now. Any information, or advice you have for me is most welcome and much appreciated! :o

Hey Dee!!! Welcome to lapbandtalk!!! You will find ALOT of useful info here and lots of people to help you along the way. It must be a love/hate with your date....seems so far away, but it will be here before you know it. This will be one of the best decisions you ever make for yourself. I know it was for me, I only wish I would have done it sooner in life, but I'm totally happy and wouldn't have gone any other route as far as other wls. Good luck!!!! and CONGRATS!!

      Still purging all of the larger clothing. This morning, a shirt that I ADORED wearing ended up on top. Hard to let it go, but it was also hard to let go of those habits that also no longer serve my highest good. Onward and upward!

        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!!
