I can't believe anyone could be so involved in a forum on lap banding that it is affecting their personal life, unless there were problems in it beforehand. Sad to see someone go from a site that has such interesting and innovative things to say. Good luck to you. Maybe you should think this over and find out the underlying problem, or confront what you think is a problem head-on. A lot of respect can be gained from facing something.

I spend a fair amount of time on this ole 'puter logged onto LBT. Hubby knows I need it. I need it for the banding support and for the short bursts of escape in my days as a stay-at-home-mom. We have a very secure relationship, but I have seen times where it drives him nuts and he let's me know "I'm over here!!!! Don't forget me!!!!" So I log off and take a break...but not forever!!

I'll miss you SunnyKim. I wish you the best in your realtionship and future. You are young. Please come back and visit as you are able. (((((hugs))))

I can wholly understand online forums just taking up too much time. I have to actively limit myself, I only visit here for short periods but I have an online mothers group that I'm enormously involved in, there's 80 or so of us, I see the melbourne girls regularly in real life too and we've even had a national meet earlier this year and are planning the next. But if I didnt limit myself, I could and would sit on the comptuer for four or five hours at a time.

Good luck and I hope your break away does you good and you get some other stuff under control.

Best of luck to you, but I don't know what I'd do without my LBT family. I feel like I know so many of the members here personally and that people really care about you here.

I wish you well.

I am glad I found LBT not only for my journey thru the weight loss but also for the off topic conversations. It is like having my friends here with me. We all have so much in common and bring different views on the matter. My husband does not say anything to me about my time on the board. I have included him in several topics and he gives me his opinions as well but it is never the same as someone actually have been there. You will be missed SunnyKim and I hope that whatever is going on in your personal life gets better..

If she checks back in I hope she will consider counseling. It sounds to me like she didn't want to face the harsh truth that this sight can sometimes provide. The band is hills and valleys and that's why you need to be able to face the truth and be realistic going into it. I doubt anyone here said anything to offend her specifically - everyone is so great here. She probably, well obviously, has some emotional issues. Sorry to sound harsh by saying that, but once again, I will not hold back the truth on this board and I expect you all to do the same, even if it's something I don't want to hear. Love you guys!

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

        Your so close now! It's gonna be great :) Wishing you a speedy recovery and looking forward to seeing how it goes!

      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
