Thank You Liz for your positive comments and helpful advice.. So happy for you. Today is my 2 year bandiversary I am so happy that I decided to take control of my weight and health when I did. I went to my primary doctor yesterday and got a glowing report. My only issue now is my flappy apron.. I have documented the rashes and hip pain. Hope I am able to have skin surgery in the future. I would still like to lose another 10 lbs or so but I am doing okay. Did not gain over the holidays and I can wear skinny jeans and boots..omg who woulda thunk.

Look at that! We're band twins. Congrats as well on your success. I do hope you can get that excess skin off but in the meantime, keep rocking those skinny jeans and boots. Woo Hoo!

      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!!
