Thats some great ideas, I really like the back riveting to accentuate the waist line. However... now to find time to actually do this??? :lol: I bought a really cheap sewing machine from Target. Costed less than $30 and it wasn't even on sale back in November. I have not used it yet...

Ditto on finding time - or, in my case, also the sewing machine-operating competence! I just gave mine away to this at-risk high school kid who wants to be a designer, because I gave up on ever producing a straight seam with that thing. I leave it to the tailor - thankfully, there's one just a block away from my house. I've kept my pear shape after the weightloss, so I still often have the waist taken in at the back on my pants. Tailoring works miracles - I remember one time I had the waist taken in on my jeans and the next time I wore them, 2 people commented on how I had lost weight - no one noticed it before.

Ooooh, I am definitely bookmarking her blog. I am not that savvy with a sewing machine, but my mom is. Thanks for posting this!

      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!!
