This is not so restrictive and you can always have it removed. I personally think you need to have a close relationship with God. I know not everyone is religious but to believe in prayer really helps. This is a good site for support. Good luck to you. I will keep you in my prayers.

Yeah, I agree. I just hope he answers my wishes, and I get a positive response from my doctor.

Yes, Christy, I do know this is a lifetime. I have looked into the 'band', but do not really approve of it. I know the other way is permanent, but that is what I am looking for. I never want to be this way again, so I do not mind.

As for carbonated sodas, I do not miss them, not one bit. Thank God too, because I was addicted to Mountain Dew, up until this year, it is almost all I drank.

Also, thanks for keeping me in your prayers,
