Hello everyone. I was just banded on 12/2/05 by Dr. Ortiz in TJ. I feel great. Im in Mesa (BTW) I would love to join everyone for the lunch. Maybe we could find a place that is more healthy or has a wider variety of Soups (just a suggestion) Anyway....today is my first day back at work after bein banded. Im still on the all lquid diet so wish me luck!

I am totally open to any restaurant we can meet at. Chili's is the only place I know of in that area. Anybody else know of a good restaurant in Tempe that has easy access to the freeway?!?

Andrea, you are VERY smart to not have told anyone. Seriously. If I could do it again, I wouldn't have said a word to anyone. Very funny about your daughter telling the people at the dance studio. Kids are too honest aren't they?!?!

I am open to lunch in January and the Vegas Bash!! Sounds fun!!

If you are curious about last years bash just go to "search" and type in VEGAS BASH--PICTURES. you will see how much fun we had!! food and games and We also have a clothing exchange while we are there. What great fun it was! It is "tentatively" scheduled for the last weekend in August.

As for the place to eat in Jan. Just please make sure it is easy access because I am disabled and walk with crutches. Also easy access for driving because I am a country bumbkin and don't like your traffic down there! :)

Ok you got me there??????? I am not sure the names or numbers of roads or interstates. But when I go there I usually am going to Chandler Heights so I go through Payson to Ellsworth. Does that help? I HATE TAKING THE SALT RIVER CANION!

Andrea - We have several AZ Lap banders who live on the West side. Tempe is central to everything. I personally would LOVE to meet on the East side since it's closer to me, however; I think there are several who would have to end up driving a very long distance & I'd like to make it fair for them. :)

We'll make sure to find one that's easy access to the freeway for our cute country bumpkin!!

Please mark your calendars for Saturday, Jan. 14th at 12:00. We'll find the perfect place!!

Tempe Sounds fine. I think I can find a city that big!!

Just do me a favor ok? Put a announcement in the Papers down there that everyone needs to stay home on the 14th, so I will be the only one on the road, OK? LOL

        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
