I'm in Western ky, Hopkinsville, too far away for a workout buddy, and not doing that much myself due to a bad knee but wanted to wish you good luck with your surgery.

Not sad at all, smart! Our "normal" friends can be very supportive, but still don't understand band life. I know one banded person in my regular live, she lives about 90 miles away. I speak with her on the phone sometimes (she is a co-worker in another office). It is great to have people in the same situation in your real life!

My BFF doesn't have a weight problem, she is very cognizant about her diet. She is also my biggest cheerleader and supporter. She's learned a lot about being banded by being my friend. I love that my BFF is so supportive, but having someone banded to talk with is awesome!!

      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.
