Nov 5th Lap Meeting in Charlotte



Recommended Posts

Calling all NC Lap Banders....Our informal group will be having our monthly get together on Saturday Nov 5th @ Ruby Tuesday's at I-77 and Arrowood. The meeting time is 11:30...If you plan on attending please let me know. It seems our little group will be growing by a few this month and I would like to call ahead and get a table reserved for us.

Everyone one is welcome...we normally have @ 6- 8 of us that meet monthly. We are at all stages...from just getting the ball rolling to the vetran Kathy who has been banded since April. This is a great time for friends to get together and laugh and cut up and have some lunch.

Hope to see everyone saturday...would love to meet some new people!!!!

She is just getting started on her journey and we could probally anwser lots of questions for her. I'll let you know Kim if she is coming so you can include her in the head count.

DAWG! I am SOOOOOO in the dust here! Stuck between 193 and 195. Up, down, up, down. Even had a fill a few weeks ago. I feel more restricted but, I dunno. Trying to be patient. Don't forget your nutritional plan...I wanna see!!!! Ugh. I'm so jealous. Fire me up, girl. Maybe I just need some mad FIRE to get this weight off!!! LOL

Can't wait to see everyone. I told hubby I should be back by 1:30, which means leaving Ruby Tuesday's by 1pm. I cant' stay all day, but I need to beg off at least another 1/2 hour, right? So many new folks! I wonder if we can have our own corner of the restaurant, rather than that aisle table? We have a big group this time! Is Angela coming?

      Hi everyone! I’m brand new here. I just went through all my pre-op requirements per my insurance company and now everything has been submitted and I’m just waiting for final approval and my surgery date. I’ve been doing research, watching YouTube videos, TikTok’s, ect.. trying to prepare my mind and what to expect so I’ll be ready for the surgery. I was so sure and so set and so ready and excited. However, now that I’ve done everything & it’s almost here, I am sooooooo scared! I know why I want it bc I’ve tried everything and I just don’t feel like I can lose weight by myself. I’m tired of being overweight my entire life. I’m miserable, but I keep psyching myself out afraid of GERD bc I know how that can be and I don’t want to have to get a bypass after already gaining the courage to even get VSG. I’m scared of complications like I’mgoing to regret doing it and be depressed that I didn’t just be more disciplined and try again to lose the weight on my own even sitting here typing this knowing in my mind i just can’t and don’t possess the discipline. I’m also afraid I won’t be able to handle the restrictions of the sleeve. What do I eat? I don’t know how to eat healthy really and don’t enjoy healthy food. I don’t know how to do this! I feel so defeated!Someone tell me they felt anything similar to this or am I not ready? I thought I was. I am so tired of being sick and tired and so tired of myself and so tired of being stuck and stuck in this body and somebody different on the outside from what I feel inside. I just want to ball up and cry.

      Had a sleeve in 2017, lost over 100 pounds. Had a DS surgery this year (2025) for more sustainable weight loss. 🤞

      The 14th was my day. I am home and recovery is going pretty smooth. They even let me walk out of the hospital. Picture of me in recovery curtesy of my boyfriend lol.
