Terrific and congrats.

I have never regretted my decision to have the lap band.

Though I have had a love hate relationship it helps keeps me in line.

It's so great to hear others still LOVE their Band. I don't hate mine and I think it is still working the way it should after 10 years..but I am NOT doing what I should. I have gained a bunch back. makes me very sad. I need to know what you all think of how to get back to what I should be doing. Do you think starting Over..like liquid drinks..protein..ect is a good idea ??

Sorry for the late reply....i would definitely go back to the basics....when i get off track i usually do a pouch reset (i have the band obviously,but have found this to be helpful)

And count calories.

The thing that really helps...is looking at old pics....i dont want the old me back...lol

You got this! Good luck!

        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!!
