Trish! Remember our April 2005 Bandsters Thread? We thought it was just going to be me and you for the longest time. Now there are tons of us! We made it a year! I know it's been a tough one for you, but chin up, you are getting up and over this hump in the road and will continue your success! Hang in there, my friend. How are you?! I'm thinking of you. (((hugs)))

Oh gosh Thanks you guys! Yes this has been tough year for me. I was in the ER all night last night with a bad infection in my hole. I had a high white blood count and was put on IV Antibiotics. The ER Dr. was shocked to know that my band Dr. did not put me on antibiotics when he did the port removal and was even more shocked to learn my band Dr. was about to stitch it back up.

What a year yes. Lets see what comes up this next year. I really dont want to think about it. In all I am really scared.

Kathy- Oh yes I remember the Aril 05 thread we thought for so long we were the only ones.. then all of a sudden they all came... Thoes were really fun times.

Thanks again everyone for you thoughts and happy wishes today. This should be a day of excitement and joy, but It really is not for me. I am hanging in there and I have not broken down to to much.

((((((((((((((((((((((hugs)))))))))))))))))))))

Aww Trish darlin my heart goes out to you. PLEASE change band docs. You actually have a case for malpractice there ya know. Even a non medical person knows that you should be put on a round of antibiotics if an infection is EVEN remotely suspected.

My invitation still stands to have you come and get an appt with Billy. I am really concerned about your health much less the band at this point. It doesn't take long for sepsis to set in.

Awww Trish I just wanna HUG you and hold your hand and tell you it will all work itself out. Please know that we all care about you.

PM or call me anytime.

        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
