Wow ... are you getting a nose job at the same time as well? I need that too!! I cannot believe how much I hate my nose ... it used to be fine, but the tip seems to have changed and become more "bulbous" as I have aged.

Well, I'm not getting it at the same time as the lower body lift - though that's not a bad idea! But my nose is wider and rounder then I'd like and I feel it gives me a girly, rather then womanly, look. So I want a narrower nose too. It was cute when I was a kid ... but I'm ready to go a little beyond cute!

Mae, thanks so much for the update; I'm really glad all went well. Dr. Ortiz is sort of strict about the clear/then full liquids, but he does not do a mushie stage--he doesn't believe in it. If you have questions, Dr. Miranda, the nutritionist there was very helpful to me. When my daughter was banded, I did tell him I started Slimfast a few days early cause I was STARVING & I thought I was getting weak (get out the violins) & he didn't seem to mind too much. He's always available on his cell, as is Dr. Martinez. (I love him) The might be stricter w/you cause it was a rebanding.

      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!!
