Hey Becca, just north of me! Your son moved out then back in? Mom and aunt live in the neighborhood? Dad in law down by me, how's his heart? You had a fall (bike wreck) that damaged your throat and you didn't need fills, phathom restriction?

I'm thinking all day about you and gross Darcey, and the old times hope I'm not bring back odd stuff...

You're too funny Vera. :mad: That's close. My DH's mom and sis live near you. My dad was just down there (with us) long enought to have a heart bypass. I forgot about Gross Darcy. :car:

I eventually found out that my bike wreck did not damage my throat...just swollen around it for a while. My esophagus problem is dysmotility, the muscles don't squeeze things through efficiently. It is fine without a fill, and I've been unfilled for six months. I'm going to try a fill again next month. I hope I can tolerate it because I have gained a few pounds. I have always had some restriction with the band alone -- lucky for me.

How are you doing?

Thanks for asking about my mom. Things are a little slow for her, she doesn't eat the right things, OLD habits are really hard to break when you're old too. Then again, it's really slow for me too.

How's your embr. doing? Did you ever get to be the master of your machine?

More Hugs to you both.:clap2: :clap2: :clap2:

Yep Pat... I became the master of that machine and while I was working at the dealership I got a really fancy machine at cost so the original one is up for bid on eBay. I'm a nervous wreck selling something that expensive on there and have nearly cancelled the listing a hundred times!

I know what you mean about slow... unfortunately... I am packing it on rather quickly... it seems like going uphill should be slower! *sigh* On a positive note... at least I have not gained it ALL back yet. Help.

A HUGE welcome back Becky!

Okay, okay Crystal (Vines), I'm here.

Darcy, you can call off the search for me, but we need to work on Teresa. The last time I heard from heard, she wanted to meet for coffee and I couldn't go! Darn!

I know I've been away because I lost my band last summer and I've gain back pretty much all my weight :welldone2:

BUT, I've scheduled a rebanding on April 7th with Dr. Ortiz in MX and I've met a doctor here in Oregon that is willing to do my aftercare and he thinks Dr. Ortiz is a really good guy.

WHOOWHEE! Celebration for reunions around here!

Hello Alexandra and Trish and Darcey and NJChick! Good to see ya'all again.

April 7th isn't too far away. I'm so glad you are going to have it replaced, Darcey.

Alexandra -- you are still holding down the fort. What a woman! My band is doing fine, just haven't had a fill for six months. Going in for one next month and will try again. The dysmotility really acts up when I have any fill, but I really need some help with the ol' appetite. :hungry: Even without the fill, I have been staying in a reasonable range, so I'm thankful for that. How's it going for you? Your picture looks skinnnnnny! And I mean that in a good way. :biggrin1:

        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
