Congratulation on the new car. Can't help noticing the car is not lopsided like mine. 102.6 lost is quite a feat and I hope to be there someday. Doddie

Argon: Yours arms look wonderful. There is always someone worse off. Me! My arms are so large, I can't get into a 30/32 and they they are gross when I relax them. I am hoping when I have the weight off, the first thing I do will be to get my arms fixed. Doddie.

Thanks Doddie. Not wonderful enough, I'm afraid. For someone who's never worn a sleeveless anything in public, it kills me to not be able to in the near future.

Anyways... I think I will call tomorrow my 1 yr anniversary (52 weeks plus a day). I didn't like todays scale read-out. (since it was same as it was Feb. 14 (d-day)) Tomorrow's the day, I can feel it, I'm in for one of my freak-ish 3 pound drops into the 170's!! WOO!

It's Dan and my 4 yr anniversary today. Awwww.... yeah, yeah, I know... lame. We went out for lunch since we both planned to hit the gym after work. Good lunch... I had quiche.

Went to the gym. I would have skipped it, but I wanted to be officially weighed on their scale, and have my measurements and body fat taken, according to their crazy system. Last time I did it there was Oct 27/06.

Here we go:

Oct - 210lbs NOW - 184.5

body fat - 34.1 ------- 27.8

Chest - 47" -------------41

Waist - 41.25"----------34.5

Belly - 48.25" ----------43

Hips - 42" --------------39

Thigh - 23" -------------22.5

Arm - 14.25" -----------13

SOoooo... pretty good. They measure all weird... places I don't... so, I don't really count their measurements... I do my own! Still cool.

Hi: I take any measurements that are good including weight. My doc and TLBC scales and my own. I take my doc's because he has agreed to help me with the weight and band. I go Apr. 2 to weigh in and other things like meds etc. Unfortuantely, my scales can't be read because my belly gets in the way and besides, they would be different to my docs. Anyway congratulations keep it up you are an inspiration. doddie

Hi Argon

I was reading a few pages back and I read where you had to be defilled. Is that the first time that happened since the time you have been banded? Have things been pretty smooth from the get go? I am a little freaked out about this. I am not banded yet but I thought most problems would happen near the beginning when we need to learn how to chew and eat small amounts.

      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.
