I am putting this on here for support for a freind.

As many of you know whippledaddy has posted here many times and has always shown everyone support.

Well he is in need of your support and prayers.

On July 20th Ryan had emergency brain surgery. It was found that he had a had a cancerous tumor on his brain. During the surgery they were able to remove it all.

He now has to have raditation on it, then have his left kindney taken out because that is were the cancer started. He alert and orientated and very positive about this for he is a healthy man with cancer.

He is still in the hospital getting rehab as he has lost the use of his right side after surgery. Dr says that it will all come back and in three days of rehab his wife PAtty reports she sees a big improvement.

Hopefully he will be home by Aug. 10th. Then he will start radiation on the brain.

Please keep him in your prayers.

Greg, thank you so much for sharing this news. If widespread healing thoughts count for anything, Ryan will be well-supported through this! Please tell Patty we are all thinking of both of them through this trying time. Big strong vibes for strength and healing and peace for them both. :hug:

What is going on? This is the third friend/acquaintance I've known to be diagnosed with a brain tumor in the last month! :omg:

        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.

      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
