Thanks, Heather - you are a true inspiriation - I am scheduled to be banded in 12 days and am very nervous not about the surgery but more about whether or ont it will really work for me. I am tall, too - I'm 5'11' and in a tight size 24 now, so I know what you mean when you say you can't believe you'd ever see a size 18 again - I can' imagine it myself - I looked FABULOUS in an 18! I am afraid I won't get there, but after reading your post I felt good - plus you were banded on my birthday, so I am taking that as a "sign"... :grouphug:

Thanks for sharing!

      I hope everyone is having a lovely week so far! 
      It's been a bit of a struggle this last week...I'm hungry ALL the time.

        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!!
