Sounds like everyone is trying. That's what counts. About Missy,A friend of mine had the lap band done and it was a few days before she got doing things.She was in hospital day of surgery plus 1 more.Don't know if all are done like that but she only had about 50 lbs to lose.Seems senseless to me for that amount. Since she had good health.Her insurance paid for it though. Anyway maybe no news is good news. Maybe she is getting much needed rest after all the stress.She was so worried pre=surgery. I been going up to our attic and cleaning. It's like a sauna up there. it's suppose to be 82* today and the attic is about 20* hotter.I worked for 2 1/2 hrs and had to come down and cool off.Don't want to do too much at one time.Mary
