I'm in Western ky, Hopkinsville, too far away for a workout buddy, and not doing that much myself due to a bad knee but wanted to wish you good luck with your surgery.

Not sad at all, smart! Our "normal" friends can be very supportive, but still don't understand band life. I know one banded person in my regular live, she lives about 90 miles away. I speak with her on the phone sometimes (she is a co-worker in another office). It is great to have people in the same situation in your real life!

My BFF doesn't have a weight problem, she is very cognizant about her diet. She is also my biggest cheerleader and supporter. She's learned a lot about being banded by being my friend. I love that my BFF is so supportive, but having someone banded to talk with is awesome!!

      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!!
