I like Governor Christy...you'd never catch Rick "Pretty Ricky" Perry making such a personal confession. I'm voting for him if he runs for President.

I'm in Houston...being banded through True Results this month.

Me too, weird both in same town, both got lapband, both married someone from New Jersey. WTF! are you my doppleganger!?!?!

Anyways, it's great to see a high profile individual take obesity by the horns and tell everyone in the world his story.

@Aeromech, does your wife complain when there is no kraut for her hot dog??? Or, do you have to drive 3/4 across town to get a "slice of pie"??

Or insist the Jersey Shore is the prettiest place on earth???

Actually she doesn't like kraut, she does complain about the lack of good pizza and loves Mrs. Ellies pizza. Yes it's clear across town from us... Lol She watched every minute of jersey shore too...

My wife actually has me drive across town to Central Market to buy her Sabrett hot dogs, saurkraut and mustard when she wants that Jersey food.

For her pizza urge we do Kennedy's Chicago pizza. She gets the thin crust and says it compares to NYC style.

I like Dough Neopolitan Pizza on Blanco. It's lap band size and super thin crust I can get down.

I've been there twice in 18 months since being banded.

Did anyone use the same Dr. as Governor Christie. I read some bad things in the news about him and pending law suites. Wish the best for the Gov even though we would differ politically I know this fat issue knows no bounds.

He used the same doctor that Rex Ryan (NY jets coach) used. I live in PA & I really like Gov Christie. I hope he does well.

        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
