too bad, but also good! yay for fills! I could tell that I needed my 2nd before because my 1st one didn't make any difference at all. But now I'm wondering how I can tell when I need another one. I am gradually being able to eat more and more...I don't want to gain weight or wait too long on a plateau...how do I decide?

Yes I will be there.

My doctor's protocol: As long as I'm losing betw/ 1-2 a wk, I'm good and don't need a fill.

Well he didn't give me a fill. My weight was exactly the same as it was the last time I saw him. It was good that I didn't gain anything but I didn't loose anything either. I need to cut out the carbs bread, ice cream, chips etc. and I need to exercise. Walking is good, I just need to do it. I was down when I left his office but I have to go through that first. Now I'm ok and will get back on track.

you can do it, you are stronger than me, that's for sure

it's hard when you are the same weight for awhile, I have definitely been there, and I did get really down, but it turned around for me, and it will for you, too

Christine you know I will go. I recommend my doctor and facility to absolutely everyone. They are awesome and have their stuff together. I'm ready, call connie because you can have someone to sit in on your consult. My sister went with me the first time and then my buddy Linda went after that.

I enjoyed myself and I would not say the service was horrible, it just could have been better. For you guys that already left, the waitress came out and told me that the check was short $10. I told her I put my in and stepped out front. I waited for the manager to come out but he didn't. She thought she was going to get the full tip. NOOOO. Maybe she will make herself available to the customers during the meal and not just at the end.

I won't say anynames but C and L what did you guys do to Carrie? She should have taken pictures of your guys acting up in the store.

I see we are going to have a MD LBT Social Group seperate from the MD LBT Support Meetings.

        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!

    • buildabetteranna

      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
