Thank you Erika and Tanay. I'm going to digest what you've both said and I'll get back to you with more questions. Thank you for your openness in sharing your stories with me.

Fondly, Sara

I just came home today from the hospital. I had a revision from lap band to gastric sleeve. Thanks so much for the encouraging words!

Wow! That is so exciting. What was it about the band that didn't work for you and why does Dr. Forgione think the sleeve will be better? The surgeon my insurance requires I go to doesn't believe the sleeve is a valid replacement for the band. "Failed at the band, you'e fail with the sleeve." That's what he says. I'm going to have to educate him about the sleeve. Thank you and I hope you feel good......

        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!!
