Hi. My name is skinnyginny and I am addicted to diet pills. I have been sober for 56 days.

Okay, I'm not really addicted but good golly it feels great to no longer see new diet pill ads and wonder, 'maybe this one will work.' I'M FREE!

I wonder how much money I've spent on diet pills in my lifetime. Probably thousands of dollars!

Me too! That got me thinking and maybe I should start a new thread for those debating on whether or not they should self pay. But, I've saved a lot of money with the sleeve! Going out to eat used to be around 300 a month. That's 3600 a year! My grocery bill has gone down about 30 a week. That's 360 a yr. Who knows what I've waisted on diet fads. I've always taken Vitamins so that wasn't an extra expense. Being fat is expensive!

I completely agree! I'm self-pay and I figure that I've spent so much money over the years on pills and programs and portion-control-foods that at some point, the sleeve will eventually pay for itself. You name it, I've done it. A few months ago I put together a list of all the stuff I've tried over the years and it sickened me to see how much was there. Thousands of $$ wasted.

      Still purging all of the larger clothing. This morning, a shirt that I ADORED wearing ended up on top. Hard to let it go, but it was also hard to let go of those habits that also no longer serve my highest good. Onward and upward!

      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!!
