Yes you did. I wasn't trying to beat a dead horse. Now I'm the one who gets to apologize. :unsure: I'm sorry.

O, I'll buy us a caffeine free ice tea and we'll be square. Not bubbles, caffeine or alcohol. Right? [emoji12]

Hahaha!! I can make a pretty mean chai. Protein & nut milk (more protein and less carbs than milk and besides, I'm lactose intolerant now), black tea, spices and stevia. You'll have to come to the mountains for it though... :D

I live in the Appalachians, the Blue Ridge to be exact in Asheville, NC. Good luck with your sleeve! My only regret is not doing it years sooner than I did.

Depends how long. We moved up from FL 5 years ago but now that we're here, I'm not going anywhere.

Ugh, Aetna denied me again. This is my 4th denial..... They want me to do the whole 90 day supervised thing diet over again.
I feel like I need to hit something. LOL

Thanks, I get sleeved tomorrow! I am excited and freaked out at the same time. Mostly because I have had a cold the last few days and it seems to have gone into my chest now. Hoping they still go through with it. Also, I did take some before pics.

I can't wait until the after! I've already lost 15lbs from the 10 day liquid diet. :)

Can't believe how quickly this year is flying by. It's finally starting to warm up and am enjoying getting out for hikes and walks. Camping week next month and I can't wait. This was the best decision of my life and the only regret I have is not having done it sooner.

Hope everyone's doin well and having a great weekend !

      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.

      Had a sleeve in 2017, lost over 100 pounds. Had a DS surgery this year (2025) for more sustainable weight loss. 🤞

      The 14th was my day. I am home and recovery is going pretty smooth. They even let me walk out of the hospital. Picture of me in recovery curtesy of my boyfriend lol.
