So Governor Christy had lapband surgery.

I did and its the reason I decided on getting the sleeve. It's like it was my life on those pages.

Just ordered it from Amazon!!

I am horrible and going to hell for this, but... did it cross anybody's mind that the lap band device manufacturers might have perhaps offered him an "incentive" to use their product? That's the only reason that makes sense to me.

I mean he is a high profile person and they might be trying to get a little more life ($$$) out of their dangerous, obsolete product.

food for thought - don't shoot me!!

Jen Larsen wrote Stranger Here! Great book! I read it!! I even e mailed her a note thanking her for sharing her journey! It was funny yet serious and I recommend it to all of you. She even responded to my email thanking me for reading her book! Very cool!!!

What is the book about?

Stranger Here is about one woman's weight loss journey. She had DS and not the sleeve, but it was very insightful. It starts when she was over 300 lbs and miserable, and then her decision to have surgery, and then the aftermath. Her style of writing is very down to earth, funny, but can also be serious. I related to her in so many ways. Highly recommend it and its a short read. Finished it in a few days without even trying.

      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!!
