Kyethra,

You sound really busy.Today I started making ugly quilt sleeping bags for the homeless. Here is the site if you want to watch the little movie on it.

I went to wal-mart and bought 5 panles of footprints in the sand.

My step Mom and I are making them together. If you know of anyone interested in joining us please let me know.

Yep...I do the same thing. My downfall is trying to drink and eat at the same time. You think I'd know by now that I shouldn't do that, but I'm too stubborn. Ata, I went to the U of I too! Congrats on getting your masters. I got my degree in January 2000 in Human Development & Family Studies, but now I work in accounting. Funny how that works out huh? I hope you can join Terry and myself for lunch sometime. We used to meet once a month, but that fell to the wayside with the holidays and everything. Hoping to pick that up again soon.

Hi there again! I was just looking at old posts to this thread and wanted to ask you about your hair. Did it finally grow back for you?

Yup, I have hair again! And my hair grows fast! it grows a good 1.5 inches or so a month. Its now poofy around my ears. I experiment with different styling products to keep it down-- when I wake it up it tends to like to stand up straight or else I have a hairdo that sort of resembles wolverines. Not the best looks for me. But when I get it to behave, its adorable :)

every time I go to save it as my signature it says invalid file.Now what do I do??lol Penny

Shoot! Now I'm not sure what to do. I didn't have that problem. I'm sorry. Maybe you could use the ticker help menu and see if there are any suggestions. Maybe someone else on this thread has ticker problems and advice. Anyone???

Doctor Sidney did my surgery.He is very good.Just remember not not to rush solid foods.do as he says and let your body heal before doing solids.I havent had any trouble and will soon be going for my second fill Jan14 that is.When you do finally get to eat solids remember to chew ,chew ,chew.My husband sometimes has to remind of this.I think the hardest thing is not drinking while your eating your meal.Good luck .Keeping you in my thoughts and prayers.Penny

Hi All!! I am new to the group. I am going to see Sid at John Warner on the 8th of February. I am really excited. I have been thinking about doing this for a couple of years now. Did anyone else have their surgery in Clinton?

Just so you know, I LOVE THE ILLINI!!! I am gearing up for the best basketball season ever! I am a teacher and I told the kids that if they won at the Bowl, they would not have homework for a month!

      Three months and four days ago... I was in Costa Rica having a life changing surgery! Yesterday we had a followup visit with Dr. Esmeral via video chat and this morning my middle number changed.  I'm down 47lbs and two pants sizes. I can wear a Large tshirt for the first time in like... 14 years! Woot!! Everything is going great. I have zero regrets. I went down to the riverwalk with a friend and walked 2 miles on Monday without even getting fatigued. And no more snoring or chugging pickle juice for crazy leg cramps! I need to go to the gym more... I'm making new shirts next week so that will motivate me. LOL But I'm also just not as TIRED all the time! I have a LONG way to go...but seeing the progress on the scales and in the mirror is a huge motivator!! Thank you all for cheering me on and supporting me!!

      Two months out from hiatal hernia repair.  Surgeon said to expect a lot more flatulence...something about the 'air' no longer being able to 'burp' out so comes out the other end.  That is my experience but have no understanding of why that swallowed air cannot be 'burped'. ???

        As I understand it since your stomach is smaller and not completely resting against your diaphragm anymore you no longer have the ability to "push" burps out as well. Plus, since its smaller and we don't digest slower the trapped air moves a lot quicker out of the stomach so its no longer available to burp out. Hence the other option for removal.

      Anyone had the TORe procedure? How did it go? How much weight did you loose?
