I sent a request to joim the group and I also tried to add as many of you as I could. Some of the email addresses didn't work so if I missed some of you, please feel free to add me. donnajo1951@gmail.com

I didn't tell anyone in the beginning either and I totally understand why you are not ready to tell folks. I even had a separate FB page for band stuff for awhile. Then when people started noticing and started asking me what I did to lose weight, I just started telling people. Then I got rid of my other FB page and combined them. My Band doc is even one of my friends!! I woulld love to see you all over on FB!! Cheers!

So sorry chicadee81, it's been awhile since I've been on this thread:sneaky: But thank you sooo much for the compliment on my tattoo. It hurt like something fierce but in the end (4 hrs later) it was all worth it! Something to remind me of where I was and where I am now:thumbup:

I keep looking at tats, but I also can't remember how badly my 1st and only hurt. I remember I was going to ask him to stop and I would come back, but he was done...but i don't remember how long it took or how bad it hurt. It's been about a decade now.

I am 59 and I got my first tattoo about three weeks ago. I got a smiley face about the size of a silver dollar on my ankle. The tattoo artist said he had never done a smiley face before and took a picture of it for his catalog.. It hurt but I am tough.... LOL!!!! It felt like a lot of bee stings to me......Hugs!!!

I could totally use the support! Banded on June 30th and still have questions, and just would be nice to have someone talk to about this. Cuz I have no one here that knows what I have been thru and what I am going thru.

Add me sandradjohnson79@gmail.com :(

I'm triegerb@verizon.net on Facebook.< /p>

I also have a private group set up for LapBandTalk. It isn't very active, perhaps we can merge the two.

Actually out all my tattoos the one that hurt the most was the one I have on my foot! I need to get it touched up (because I picked it, lol) but because it hurt so damn bad I am scared to do it! Even though they hurt like hell I want another one really bad, have no idea where to get it since I am running out of places to hide them.:(

      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.
