I just wanted to stop by and say hi to everyone. I have been lurking around the site for a week or so now and I have seen and heard some wonderful things going on in this community. I have noticed a very close family - like setting of unique and diverse individuals and I love it. Everyone can have an opinion and people accept it and motivate and keep striving for what the ultimate goal is, a healthy life at a healthy weight. I am impressed and I hope I can be accepted among you to give and get experienced opinions and motivation. Thanks for reading and if you would like to be friends or get to know me better please drop by my page and give a hello! Thanks and have a Blessed weekend...oh and post-337595-1381314011971_thumb.jpgHappy Fathers day to all you dads on here!!

Definitely not a requirement! Hi all! I've attended the seminar and will schedule my consult appt this week. I'm ready! I've been thinking about doing this for several years but never was ready to give up my lifestyle. Well, my diabetes and all the other health risks have enjoyed the ride but now I'm ready to leave them behind. An added plus is I get to get rid of this weight too! I look forward to getting to know you all and make a new world of friends!!!

We are in the same boat I'm diabetics and was just recently diagnosed with sleep apnea(Apr) that really scared me that I could actually stop breathing in my sleep and just never wake& the #1 reason for it is obesity so I said something has to change I'm fighting for a healthy longer lifespan I started my journey 10May no seminar I just called a local surgeon on the phone book made an appt and walked in with a list of questions We should summit to my insurance next month wish me luck

I have not been told I am diabetic or have sleep apnea but I have been on blood pressure meds for 15 yrs and have 12% function in my Left kidney and I am a cancer survivor. I am ready to hit that reset button and get back to healthy living. I was a healthy teen, I am a second degree blackbelt which I attained by the age of 16 with alot of hard work but you couldn't tell by looking at me now. I have kids I want to be here for and 2 grandkids who love their nana and would love to have her around for a long time. I have lots of reason but It never seems to be enough to keep me motivated for more than a few months at a time. I know I can do this and I have to believe this will be the tool to help me.

      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
