Hi WLS Deb, Girl you look so good too ! We're some pretty little things aren't we ? We've become the swans we always knew lived inside of us ! I'm still around and I'm sorry to hear that you had to have a hernia operation. My daughter (who is post-op also) just had hers repaired at the end of May and she said it to the "hernia repair was worse than the WLS !" So far I haven't had that procedure but last week after damn near passing out on the bus , I went to the hospital and ffound out I have a kidney stone . OOOOohhhh my God , NO PAIN CAN BE COMPARED TO THIS !!!!!!!!!!!!! The dr thought I'd have to have a surgery to remove it but they called me last Wednesday(the night before my surgery) and told me that no stone was showing on the cat scan , so I must've passed it already ? Now I been told the pain of passing a stone is like walking through hell wearing gasoline soaked underwear. But I didn't even feel it or know I passed the little devil. God is still Good . Unfortunately , my husband (knowing that we're through refuses to leave, so he's still lying next to me at night )isn't going to ever change, he now wants to try marriage conseling. For the first time in my life, I don't believe there's anything there left to save (talk about changing with the weightloss )several years ago I would've blocked ever door and window to try and keep his "carcass" in my life. That was the woman who settled for being treated any way he felt like treating me,no more settling !!!!!!!!!! I will do the conseling thing because my kids still want him around because they don't understand the dynamics of our relationship. They will always see him as dad and if I leave him now my kids will think that the surgery was the cause of the breakup .Ergo :Mom becomes The Villan- so they need to see that I didn't just up and leave him . I have my days when I know this surgery was the best thing that ever happened to me and then I look at myself after my kids tell me to "eat something ,we can see the bones in your neck" and wonder do I look bad ? Most days are positive though because if it weren't for the surgery, would I even be here to write this letter ? They aren't use to their new mom yet and I think I scare them now too because along with the weightloss came a sense of confidence that I never had. They've seen me stand up for myself in situations that I would've walked away from before , now they just roll their eyes at me and as my youngest daughter says to me now "I knew there was going to be a conflict with you " and they just shake their heads in amazement. But they see a "strong woman (not a bitch) now who is able to say no that's wrong and your not going to treat me this way !" Girl it was so good talking with you ,you've got to stay in touch ! I also love the "wighats" as I call them and I have quite a collection too ! Love and God's Blessings to you ! Brenda
