Totally off topic, and I promise not to turn this in to a thread-hijack....

WASA, are you EVER going to post your before/after pics? Maybe after your PS?

I truly don't have any before photos. Honestly, the only fat photo I have is one that was taken the day before my Dad died of cancer. I was not happy. My creepy sister wanted to take family photos. ??? My Dad was dying. I was just getting ready to give her the finger and she took the photo. That is my before photo.

After my PS I might, actually I probably will. But you know, there are strange people on these boards like the person that has been suspended under various IDs. Someone was telling me that she has actually stalked people in real time before. How much info do any of us want out there?

Denise822, Neveragain, KansasSooner, Shirley, Steve, Gary, Wendy, Lucki... quite a few people have seen me, can't you ask them what I look like? :huggie:

OK, I understand not wanting a stalker to latch on....

I could ask one of them, but it's just not the same... ~sigh~

I guess I shouldn't be so disappointed, I haven't posted any pics yet, either, I'm just not ready, although I DO have some pretty awful before pics.

And on a side note, I lost my dad to cancer this summer...actually the chemo had given him a lot of nasty bleeding ulcers that went untreated for whatever reason, and in the span of 24 hours, he died an awful death that we were all there for. I don't think I looked very pretty that day, either, and if someone had decided that they wanted pictures, I might have commenced to beating the living s*** out of them. THIS IS NOT THE TIME.

OK, BACK TO TOPIC!! :huggie:

Ahhhh, so you do understand why I was starting to give my sis the finger as she took the photo!

Sorry about your Dad, it's hard losing them. Very hard.

I met WASa last summer when I went to AZ to visit my dad. She is the sweetest person and I feel lucky to have her on this board.

It's nice to have someone who is so intelligent and is a wealth of information to be willing to help out and answer questions.

I can't wait to see her again when I visit my dad again in a couple of months. She wasn't quite to goal when I met her. She looked great then, so she must be looking fabulous now!

My dad is 88 and I dread the inevitable. I have been lucky that he has been is such good health for someone who has smoked for 60 years.

Thank you, Denise.

BTW, I called your Dad the other day to see if he wanted to go out to dinner somewhere but I wasn't able to reach him. When you talk to him would you mention that I'd love to take him out somewhere as we planned when you were here?

Thanks! That was really sweet of you. He is in Chicago right now and won't be back until the middle of Jan. I am glad because

I don't have to worry about him while my brother is taking care of him.

WasABB rocks my socks. haha.

I met her a couple of weeks post-op and she was the sweetest. VERY knowledgeable in the medical field and industry and if I do say, she's not too tough on the eyes. ;-)

      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!!
