Kim, am I remembering right that you used to work for Dr Bauman?

If so, where you at the March 16th seminar?

I was the crazed redhead asking questions about UHC insurance and kept you there late.. if that was you.

Sorry not me...I just entered the medical field on the 20th of March and Dianne is right it was with Dr. V. But it's ok if you keep anyone there late because we are all there for you.... :)

I can't wait to meet you...we need a spicy red head in the group. haha

Ah wavey...tell him Melissa said he doesn't need you for no bowling LOL. Sorry you aren't going to make it.

Diane...I agree we should try to meet again in April if possible, since this meeting is turning out to be a light one. But please folks, I need it...so don't everyone bail on me. LOL

The insulting thing my mother in law said while I visited this time: "Oh really 40lbs, I can't really tell, but you have went up and down in your weight so much" What a *&%#$. This was all because I told my sister in law that I might have to buy a new bathing suit for the cruise in June because I don't know if my suit from last year will fit right because of the weight loss. I think I made a good decision to no tell her about the surgery. I told my brother in law and sister in law because I had to explain why I didn't eat my lunch. Big olde hamburgers, got stuck on the first couple of bites.

Okay back to torturing my kids with spring cleaning.

Ok there is so many new people on here..we need an intro thread on the board so everyone new and old can remember people. I am getting so confussed as to who is who...I know once I meet everyone I will remember them. It's just my old memory kicking in. haha I think NC is going to take the lead in banded people...GO NC!!!!!

So I finished my 2 week of work and WOW...I love it...it is very BUSY. There are so many patients out there. Oh my goodness.

Oh hey I will post it again later but I wanted to put a bug in your ear..Dr. V is going to start a support group for the band. Our first one will be in June at the Cornwell center behind Myers Park Church near Queens College. It's open to anyone and everyone. Bobbie one of our RNs is going to lead it and I will be there. :) We will be getting imput as to what you want how you want it structured...special speakers/guest you would want us to get to talk. I am so excited about it. I have the date at work but now 100% sure when it is. Again my bad memory....I really hope we have a good turn out it will be the only BAND only support group in our area. Well that is besides ours..which is the best of the best.:clap2:

Ok well hope everyone has a great weekend...we have our get together tomorrow which I am so excited about and then I have Curtis birthday party, Sunday we have pictures of the kids and a family reunion to go to. So we are full again this weekend. GO FIGURE..

Ok Melissa girl don't let your MIL upset you at all...I think it's a MIL thing. Lets just hope we don't turn out to be one of them when are kids are married. hehe....

So what else is going on w/ everyone?

        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
