Anyone With Lap Band In San Diego



Recommended Posts

So far I just have the forum for support! Its hard finding people from San Diego who are regulars on here. :( Its even a struggle to keep a workout buddy but I take support anywhere I can get it! ;)

I have been using this site as my main support!! Have you found anything??

I think the best way to start a local support group would be to just pick a day/time/location and start it up. One or two people would have to commit to being there each time to ensure continuity. Then put out the word and see if it grows.

Do somewhere like a Starbucks on a weekday evening at around 5 or 6 pm? We could just get together a chat. Or even Shakespeare Pub on India Street.

Are you all thinking about a weekly or monthly gathering?

Thoughts?

I think getting together would be AWESOME! Only problem will be picking a day and time that will work with most of us. I can not do evenings at all but could do a morning coffee around 10am someplace....anyone free about that time?

I can do Saturday or Sunday 10 AM, or could do a short coffee (like 30 minutes or so) at 10 AM Mon-Thurs in the Mira Mesa area. I work near Miramar. Mon-Fri 6:30am to 3pm, but cannot get out of the office on Fridays.

Shay, what time to you walk after work?

Hi all! My name is Chrissy and I am in the process of getting my medical clearance finished up (have already done my psych evaluation). So I don't have a surgery date yet but I am hoping to get one soon. I am in La Mesa, CA and I am looking for people close by to talk to online maybe even meet up with at some point for support. Even though I am a little nervous/scared about the surgery I am super excited because I feel I have let my weight hold me back for too long and I am so over it.

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!

      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.

        Am feeling this right now. My surgery date is 4/1. Sign the consent tomorrow. I feel like I overloaded myself with too much info, too many opinions. Got to the point where I was wondering if I should do this. Then I thought of my reasons for taking this step and that settled my nerves. Still get moments of doubt but am striving forward. Am just going to follow my book from the surgeon. Joined this because I was told by my dietician that I should do this for support
