Congratulations! I love approvals or surgery schedules that come on a Friday! You are guaranteed a great weekend because you're riding a cloud of euphoria. Mine came on a Friday too. ????

That was probably my goal when I had the Lapband. I'm at 270 right now, and my surgeon said I should lose 100lbs in the first year and another 20-30 during the second year?!? I can't even imagine myself down to around 140-150. ????????

I started at 272 and was down exactly 100 lbs the day of my one year anniversary! I am 14 lbs below my lowest after the lap band.

      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!!
