jhope - You might 'think' you can drive on meds, but...please for the safety of others, especially that cute little one in your photo, (and yourself) don't! Well, you are in Texas so you have lots of space. I'm here in the congested SF Bay Area and would like to tell everyone please do not drive on our congested highways and roads whilst on meds! (Although I'm certain most are on meds by the way they drive!).

I drove 7 days post-op. You also feel every bump in the road while you are in a car up 2-3 weeks out.

:aureola: I am the last of the baby boomers, from the generation greatest parents to my 5 baby boomer brothers, we learned hard, and we do it right! I can drive on meds! :cheers2:

Yeah - I'm sure that's what the woman who hit and killed my sister and her unborn baby said too.

Just kidding, I love to see the regulars get riled up! Maybe Im the only one who remembers the sixties! Ya, and you need meds to drive in some big cities!HA hA!

Sure do envy you getting to live in the SF Bay area, Glory! That is some beautiful place. The only thing wrong with SF is I dont live there. The only thing wrong with my last trip there was no one was with me. I kept wishing I could say, "Hey look at this..."

My neighbor got drunk and went outside and shot his friend dead a month ago, and another neighbor got under his house to fix a Water leek, and a copperhead bit him several times and he died. A boy the next town over slept with his window open, and a bat came in and bit him, he told his mom he thought he got bit, but they didnt do anything and he died of rabies! My dad was 82 years old, and died while he was driving, and hit another car and killed a real nice man, who was the father of 3 and my age....

Whoa...I think she intended that to be a joke...the smilies and whatnot gives it away.

It is not funny to lose someone like that. My first fiance wrapped herself around a tree when we were 21, 2x over the limit...don't get upset over peoples humor. It isn't intended to be bad.

Girl you know it! If I didnt loose everyone that I ever loved in the last 5 years, let me know, and if I dive into that ditch of grief again, shoot me! Im living in deniel for a reason, it works, and if I am the only one who remembers what the cops did when they pulled a bunch of teens over, well lets just leave it at that. If Im the only one who remembers riding in the car standing up between mom and dad, flying on the interstate, and sliding all over the back seat when they took a turn, into the local ice house...well then Im the only one.

      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
