Saw the ob/gyn today (nice man) and he agreed that the quality of life issues were major and that we should get the surgery done sooner rather than later. After discussing options (attempting to get pregnant? Um, NOPE!!) and alternatives, I’ll be having the full on abdominal surgery on August 19.
Also had a great session with the dietician, lots of new ideas on how to make breakfast better, and keep me feeling full longer – I’ve been going over my calorie allowance a little in the last week (although I have managed 3 walks – woot!)
And the new Burda mag (May) arrived today. (Sue, I grabbed yours while I was there.) I’m looking at it with fresh eyes – it will still be a while before I fit into their regular (not plus) sizes, but it’s getting closer!
Also bought this mag – Sue had given me some earlier issues, and I find it really inspiring and challenging.
It was wet and miserable here today so I didn’t get a walk 
never mind, tomorrow I’ll make a big effort to get some exercise in – I’m starting to *gasp* miss it if I don’t do it!
And now I’m off to bed again. Still getting over this cough/cold thing – arrgh!

Caity – just read your last three posts – sounds like everything is going great – I am so thrilled for you!
I am glad I will be back before your surgery – we will schedule a girl’s day out before hand and then I can visit (when you are ready!) Thanks for picking up the mag for me – I haven’t had a chance to find any here yet.
Cough is slowly improving – goes a bit backward everytime I get on a plane but no more planes now for a while! -
Hey Caity,
I’ve been through this surgery for the same reasons and would be happy to “talk” with you offline if you have questions. Shoot me an email if you want. In any event, best of luck!
And congratulations on the weight loss!!
Take care,
Gwen -
Sue, I’m glad you’ll be back too – I reckon we might do that fancy lunch at Veraison with a coupla glasses of really nice wine, eh?!
I have (possibly!) managed to subscribe to Burda – we shall see – they don’t charge until they’re actually sending the mag, so there’s 6-8 weeks of limbo while you wonder if they did in fact receive the info you sent…
This wretched cough!! It just stays on and on, doesn’t it? Hope it’s well gone before you have to do the long flights back home.

Gwen, thanks – will do! *mwah*!

it’s obvious that you haven’t decided on this course of action on some whim – hopefully no one would – and I’m sure that we’ll all be hoping for the best of outcomes for you
