Trish in all honesty I think taking out the port is a GREAT idea. I know it isn't what you would want to hear but it means a good way to cleanse the body of whatever it is that is growing inside of you. The port is most likely the source of infection and keeping the site aggravated.

My prayers are with you and I hope you don't think I am being too pushy but I care about all of you so much.

Your not being pushy at all Penni... thank you for caring so much. I do hope he removes the port, but the way the nurse sounded as though my infection was no big deal I dont know if I will get anything done.

You know My Dr. is the sweetest man but if he doesnt fix me soon Im moving on, I will look for another Dr. to take me no matter what it takes. I hate all of this mess already. I am trying so hard to keep my hopes high but its hard sometimes.

See, Id be cautious of your doctors response.

Youve already been through SO much with HIM. Thats why I was wishing you could get a second opinion - or find another surgeon.

((hugs)) to you. You know I love you Trish. I cant imagine being in this situation. The trip, the money, your HEALTH!

What does your husband think?

so jump on the next Southwest flight and get your butt here. I will even pick you up at the airport. Hey you could fly into Burbank which is lots closer to me than LAX and lots easier to get in and out of.

So $3.00 bucks a gallon for gas to and from Colorado, plus hotel fees... hmmm.

Im weighing the option of the cost of an airline ticket verses gas expenses.

Hey Penni, have I told you lately that I love you?

You are so fantastic for even offering this to Trish. (((((MEGA HUGS)))))

LBT never ceases to amaze me.

Trish, I am being banded Monday, in Mexico. I too will be traveling to get my fills. I will be going from the Farmington NM area. Anytime we could get together to go I would be game...it might help expense wise. I had planned on going to Canon City, CO as well. Let me know how this works out. I will be thinking of you & hoping you get good news!

Thanks so much for the good wishes! Hope your appointment went well, anxious to hear what you found out, and also how the Dr. handled it. Let us know!!

As for the travel arrangements, we will drive. Canon City is about the same distance from me as ABQ is, 180-190 miles. We would be about your 1/2 way point. I say we, because my SIL and I are doing this on the buddy system!! But if we can coordinate schedules, and you can make it this far, you are welcome! PM me and I'll give you my number, so when the time comes we can check it out!

      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.
