First NSV's for me



Recommended Posts

I'm finally beginning to get nsv's. Whoo hoo!

1. I haven't taken my diabetes medication since the night before my surgery. :) My numbers have been wonderful, except when I stupidly try some of the foods that I know will shoot them up. :) I don't do that very often.

2. I wore a pair of my FITTED size 24P slacks today. :bananapartyhat: No elastic, no spandex, no stretch. Honest to goodness khaki slacks. And I could breathe all day long. :high5:

;)

My dermatologists' nurse had lapband surgery over a year ago and we talked about mine before I went in. When I went in today, she told me she was so inspired by what I was doing that she was getting back on the wagon and had already been to her doctor for a fill. Cool! :eek: I don't know that I've ever inspired anyone before.

Audra,

It's wonderful that you are able to be healthier so quick - that you can stop some previously needed meds! I take Rx for blood pressure, arthritis, reflux, Fluid retention and am hoping that post band I can reduce or stop some of these meds. It is so inspiring to hear everyone tell about how much better they feel. That is one of my main goals - to be healthier - not just focused how tiny I can be.

I have my first appointment with Dr. Smith on May 31. I am soooo excited to get this show on the road. I attended one of his seminars and was very impressed with his professional (but down to earth), caring manner.

Keep us posted on your NSV!!!

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

    • 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
