Oh sister! We are gonna rock it. Good job on ANOTHER six pounds, that is amazing. I am at the point where I am so obsessed, but in a good way. No more anxiety just wanna hop my booty on a plane. (Dang! What if I need a seat belt extender on the plane? Cruel irony that would be.) Any way we're almost there. My bags are already packed I've been cleaning my house and making arrangements for my people. Now I just need to survive two more days of work! Good luck Carrie!

Congratulations! How exciting may you have a speedy recovery. I would so much like to hear from you with details. I too will be having the VSG on April 12th. I am a newbie to this forum and trying to read of all experiences. :confused1:

Hi! I am next in line for surgery. I have my IV in, gown on, and I'm ready to go. The situation has been full of positives including a great lady named Diane who has taken me under her wing and been a great support. My turn is just minutes away!!! Thanks for all the support. It really means more than you could ever know.

Hi Anna,

Came by to see you but you were in recovery! See you tomm. or Saturday.

Anna

I was there and asked about you and Lucy said you where in surgery at that moment. She said you were doing great. I hope you are up and about tonight.

Teresa

I waited for you for awhile but guys were not there and Anna was just getting out of surgery. So I told Lucy to tell you hi and good luck. It took me 2 1/2 hrs to get back across the boarder. What a long day!! Will be thinking of you tomorrow.

love your tag line: Philippians 4:13. We used the Veggie Tales Pirates Who Don't Do Anything at a VBC we did up in a small village in Alaska and that was used in that program. The kids loved that program!

I had some problems with my port. I has twisted and it took 3 doctors and 25 minutes to poke and prod my stomach with huge needles to twisted back around for a second so they could get all the Fluid out of the band. My stomach is now all black and blue and sore. Dr. Campos is on his honeymoon and he has always been the one doing my fills and unfills and he always hated my port but usually got it on the 2nd or 3rd try. I hope you get a good night sleep and hope to here from you soon. Please make sure Anna knows I was there and checked on her.

Wishing you both luck and a speedy recovery.

Kathy

        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
