Well my wound is finally healed up! I still have a big dip in my tummy but the hole it self is closed. It took about 4 months and I am so glad I dont have to worry about it anymore. I can put cute pretty things on my dresser now, instead of it looking like a Dr.'s office!

So I will be leaving out to CO either Tuesday or Wednsday of next week. I did start a diet, just drinking slimfast and dinner being very healthy and very small. I am very excited to finally be here and getting rebanded. I really hope it works this time. Not that it didnt work before, I am down almost 60 pounds, but I should be down more then that. I am worried in a lot of ways as well. I hope the band I have now is okay and not eroded. I would hate to wake up without a band. So keep me in your prayers next week. And hopefully by the 1st I will be a "Real" bandster again! I will hang out with you all more offten too!

Thanks for everything all your support and freindship, This year was very hard for me but all of you have been such wonder friends!!! WOOHOO Im getting re-BANDED!!!!!!!!!!

Sending thoughts and prayers along with you Trish!!

Can't wait to hear from you when you get home.

You are so brave to have gone thru so much and to still keep on trying for this.

I really hope and pray that this time around is a completely different and successful experience.

**big hugs**
