Oh My God, so sorry to hear your sad, sad news. My blood run cold this morning when I read the post. Not our dear Astrasmom! I`ve shed a few tears. She was lovely and comforting to a lot of people on the site. My condolences and wish of God`s blessing and peace to you and your family, our dear Dawn`s husband. She will be dearly missed on the site.

Accountability thread for October Bandsters!

Thank you everyone. Things are going well. I will probably be having open heart surgery on Wednesday. I'm stable at the moment. I had heart catheterization today and there are no blockages. Just my aortic valve is leaking. I'm trying to stay strong. Now I have to say I have an awesome lapband doctor. I was having problems the last 2 days with my band being too tight. I was freaking out because I'm in a heart and lung center. These doctors know nothing about the lapband. And I am about an hour away from where my lapband doctor is. So anyway since my lapband doctor is not affliated with this hospital I thought they were going to have to call another lapband doctor in. Well my doctor actually drove out here and removed ALL the fluid from my band. He said he wanted me to be safe during open heart surgey and after he would put the fluid back in for me. I thought that was so awesome. Anyway since I have been in the hospital I have lost 8 more pounds and I am now 2 lbs from goal. Of course I am hoping that I will not gain TOO much back beinging totally unfilled. I am watching my protion size. And my husband brought me my protein supplements to the hospital. Thanks for all of the prayers and well wishes. I will get over this bump and come out with flying colors. -
