I have heard so many different explanations such as the following:

Losing 100 pounds.

Being in the 100's.

Hitting one year post op.

Which of these is true?!

What Is Onederland?! Whatever it is...I want to be there!

What did it feel like getting to Onederland for you and how long did it take (if it isn't the 1 year post op thing)?

I arrived in Onederland yesterday. Finally out of the 200's. Sleeve surgery end of July. Since surgery down 59plus pounds and since starting, down about 70. Hoping to continue and loose another 50 at least. Not getting caught up on the number game just wanting to be healthy and feel good. Good luck to all of you. We are all different and experience a different unique journey. I have had a few problems along the way but still would do it all over again. Still have lots of arthritis pain but can move easier. Not so embarrassed to be seen at the gym and enjoying a great life with my awesome husband of 26 years. Don't compare yourself with anyone else. We are all unique and different. We each have different bodies and medical issues. It is nice to read others problems, weight loss etc. but we are not the same. Each of our doctors and dietitians have very different rules and criteria to follow. That is who you need to listen to for medical advice. This however is a great support group. Each of you will do great. I was scared to death and had lots of reservations but knew I needed to do this to improve my quality of life. I am 60 years old and feel sooo much younger now. It has been a blessing. I don't know what the future holds but know this part of my journey holds no regrets! Good luck to all of you. Remember we all play a big part after surgery to write our own destiny!!!! On to a new healthy life for each and every one of you! I truly wish you the best!

      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!!
