You know intent is usually lost on message boards and through typed words.

I don't know what happened B4 and frankly I don't care.

If you need help with question keep firing those questions and you will find the answer.

I'll do my best to help but I'm pretty much new to lap band.

There is great info. here and wonderful people but we're all human and very one has a bad day.

best of luck to you on your journey.

I agree with Shaz. I can't tell you how many fights I've had with people over nasty rude text messages only to find out I totally read them wrong way. It is very easy to misread meaning behind words when you can not hear them. That being said, gg I am so sorry if any one offended you. I think we are all here ultimately to help each other. And I can promise you that you will always get a kind word and response, and usually some bad humor, from me.

Thnx for comments I put this up here cause I received a private message from someone on here being rude!! I do not appreciate that... This person went out of there way to be rude... I don't let anyone's comments bother me because that's just what they are YOUR opinion YOUR comment!!! If you are having a BAD day take care of that... That doesn't give you the right to be mean and just plain rude!! Not trying to rant or argue with anyone just basically saying how I felt!! It is not okay to treat someone with disrespect just cause you are online!! Thnx for everyone's input!!! I got on here to get some of my questions answered.... THAT IS ALL!!!

Keep asking questions and just ignore the rude responses. Eat the meat and throw out the bones. I would not got upset over it. One bad apple would spoil the other helpful people on this forum.

Gg, I didn't realize someone sent you a private message being rude. That is totally uncalled for. Gg, I will try to answer any questions, to the best of my little knowledge. And if you ever want to just vent or chat or need encouragement , I will listen as well. Good luck with everything.

No need to thank me at all. I try to be positive myself. Doesn't always work. Lol. But I try. Life is too short for negativity . And trust me, I've more than had my share this past year. But decided it was time to try and move past it. You got a friend in me.

That you are right about. Sometimes harder to do than say. After a half year of complete craziness and ugliness I realized I needed to just pull myself away from it and start being happy again. Can't say it's fully worked, but it's getting better.

May I offer some advice as a long time forum member who's dealt with my fair share of idiots PM me stupid and rude things?

Just ignore them and move on. They aren't worth your effort or your time.

In the future, don't make like posts like this thread either. I understand you're upset, but by making threads like this you're just throwing gasoline on the fire. It may be negative attention but you're still giving them attention regardless. The better option is no attention whatsoever.

Just my opinion based on my own experience.

        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
