I'm in Florida and its odd that now I have to worry about my family in New Jersey for once. All I can say is I will pray for your safety. Living through Wilma was enough for me for the rest of my life. Hope it down grades to a tropical storm by then.

<----Northern NJ and prepared for the unexpected. I feel worse for those who live down by the shore areas and live by rivers/lakes. They usually are the ones who suffer the most. Where I am located we worry about floods and power outages. Winds can bring down trees so that worries me too. I am quite a few blocks from the hudson river which will hit the lower part of my town, I am wayyyy uptown so we are safe in that aspect. Flooding is going to be big, I just made sure the drain in the driveway is clear because that has a tendency to flood the garage/basement if its clogged up. Made sure all the patios chairs are put inside and garbage bins are put against the gate in the backyard so its not flying around the streets.

Be safe everyone!

Good morning all! Here in NJ hoping storm doesn't come - scheduled for surgery Tuesday! And I've been waiting so long. Surgeon won't tell me if it's on or off until Monday.

Anyway, question: I've always been a "stuffer" of food - does the lapband help? From all I've read lap band success is all in the head. Thoughts?

Im in Jacksonville. Lived in Fort Lauderdale for 10 years. It's coming so get prepared they said on the weather channel it has no where else to go but inland once it reaches north. Be prepared. Im sure there will be no electric for about a week so they are saying. Sending in trucks from everywhere in the US to help restore power. You can always have your surgery worry about the storm for now.

      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.
