Banded April 4th, 2012 and had lost about 75lbs on my one year bandaversary. My wife and I went to meet up with some friends and I get a phone call. My sister had passed away. Complications from a surgery she had. It rocked me, and bad. 4 months of grief eating and cheating, I had gained 19lbs back. I went in to get my band filled a bit and in one week, I've lost 23lbs!! 4oz each meal, no cheating, no drinking anything an hour before or after, and a lot of motivation.

I want my sister to know I loved her and that I was proud of her. My weight loss is now dedicated to her memory. RIP, Katie. I love ya!

        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!!
