Great news, congratulations!! I'm expecting to get to a BMI of 29 any day now, so I'll be overweight and not obese anymore!

My sleeve sister!! I was wondering where you've been!! I knew y'all had been traveling a little. I cannot believe I'm almost there. Actually, as of this morning, I'm only 1.5 lbs from my surgeon's goal. I guess that is what I should change my 'goal' to and then go from there, anything after that is icing on the cake....MY real goal was to wear a size 8 and I'm doing that!! :) Such vanity!! LOL You'll catch up very soon, but it's a way of life, not a race to the finish line! Enjoy the journey!! Keep me posted!!

We took some time out and went up to France for a couple of weeks....and then had family over for a few days, but now have an empty house again ( and a mountain of washing!!).

I'm not up to date with the posts yet so suspect you may have hit your target by now.... but you're doing great!! My sister in law was amazed at my weight loss....and although I think I may be able to lose a little quicker, I'm happy taking the scenic route - gives me a chance to try and let my body catch up with me!! :rolleyes:

And as for your size 8?? - amazing!! Well done!!!

      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!!
