I love it. I am going to have to go to that list for new words to use when I read, yet again, from someone that "the band is just a tool" Thanks for this post. :)

The only "Tools" in all of this are the cretins who keep referring to their Lap bands as "tools".

I think this whole "tool" thing got started (or was at least promoted) by those two ladies who started BandedLiving or whatever it's called. The "Spam Sisters" as I like to call them.....they would visit here every couple of weeks and tell people to visit their blog, where they are promoting their new book....and a "pay" website they seem to want to push. One of the "ladies" doesn't even refer to her Band as a Band....it's her "tool"...........

She is "at one" with her tool......

I'll bet she is......

I prefer "minion". "Whatchamacallit" is good too, but I use that regularly when I forget words, so my family would not know what I was talking about.

      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!!
