Hi All,

I can not believe that 2 years ago tomorrow I got my sleeve! I am so grateful for how my life has improved. In the last 2 years I have went from a size 24 to 4 and lost 156 pounds. I had plastic surgery last month and I am really starting to feel good about how I look. Most of the aches and pains i had before are all gone. The sleeve saved my life!

Just had to share :o)

Thank you all so much! I love to walk and jog. I have not been able to do much the last 2 month becasue of my plastic surgery. I watch my carbs and stay away from fried foods. Other then that I swear i eat more now then before the sleeve. My trick is to graze on good things all day so i am never starving so i dont make bad decisions!

      Happy Wednesday!
       
      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!!
