Hello all! Remember me I was the one who posted a few weeks ago that I thought I failed my LB

Oops I hit send on accident hahah. I was not done.

Well for those who did not know my story I post I was feeling down because I was banded November 14, 2010. Start weight was 330, My surgery weight was 280. I lost about 35lbs shortly after but about 1 year ago I noticed my weight was coming back. I was embarrassed to see friends who knew I did my surgery because I did not follow up. I gained the 35 I lost back. I finally had the courage to see my doctor and when I called she was no longer practicing. So I had to find a new doctor.

After doing some research I found Dr Woody Denhem. Made the appointment and had the courage to go to him to continue me weight loss. On Thursday I went in WEIGHT IS 284 lbs.

dr said he was happy for me to be there and said let's move forward. He checked me and was able to fill me on the spot. 2 days of liquid and back to solids as of today! I feel good so far! The fill was 5cc an he said what that number means nothing. 5cc for me can be 10cc for someone else. It's all on how I feel. I'm excited to be back.

SO PROUD OF YOU!!!

I am excited to tread your post because I wan just thinking I want to switch to dr denham (been using another doc who is far away from me and the drive is very difficult) but I wasn't sure if he takes patients from other doctors

Boy am I glad to read this!

You can do this dude! We're all in this together!

Btw does dr denham do his fills under fluoro? Or does he just guesstimate?

Please keep us updated on your progress :)

      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
