@ FoxyBeeGee, no hiatal hernia for me just the sleeve.

@ Gardendiva3 and amy terese Congrats and just know that just like an old church song says" My good days outweight my bad days, I won't complain. ".

@ amy terese, trust me you won't be starving if anything you will look at the food and have to make your self eat it cause you need the energy that it will give you. My mom came and took care of me for a week and my daughter was there so my mom cooked almost everyday for them. Trust me when I say that my mom is a great cook and not even her food got my riled up. I had my first craving on Saturday, I wanted one hot wing without the skin and some green grapes. Well needless to say I ddin't have the hotwing but I did eat the grapes and threw away the skin. I only could eat about five of them but they were the best grapes that I think I have ever eaten in my life .
