Dr. Garcia And Team Are Awesome!

GULP! I just tried clicking on the link that I posted just above in my previous post, and it takes you somewhere really weird! Not the tutorial. BUT if you copy the link and put it in your address bar at the top of the page, it DOES take you to the tutorial. Sorry about the hassle~!

Barbie,

I'm sorry I am just now seeing this post. All you need to do to get your ticker in your signature is do the following:

Go to tickerfactory.com or anywhere to create a ticker

go to your profile.

right side of screen there's a black button that says "Edit my profile"

left side of screen there's a list of options, click on "signature"

copy/paste your ticker code into the edit signature box

click on "save changes" at the bottom

You can also write anything in there with it, such as your surgeons name and surgery date if you like.

I hope this helps you!

:)

Thank You Kelly..Glad to be on the losers bench..just wish I could figure out this ticker tape thingy and all that other neat stuff you wrote..

I'm having sleeve surgery with Dr. Garcia on April 11. I'm so delighted to find topics on him. There wasn't much information on Obesityhelp.com. Thank you for sharing your experiences. I feel at peace with my decision to have him perform my procedure.

I have a question. How are supposed to swallow Vitamins if you cannot take in a lot of liquid at one time?

I was recommended to take a chewable or Gummy Vitamin...They do make both in adult formulas just read the labels...

Ok so I am new to the forum, and have been stalking you guys for a while...lol ! I am excited and nervous to take the leap into surgery. I have contacted Dr's and have all of the financial end squared away, but I am scared to make the final call to schedule the appointment. I know that you were all probably the same way at first also....right?

Here are my issues, I am not a high BMI, actually a 31, and peolpe always say that I don't look like I weigh 200lbs. But I have struggled with my weight for the past 10 years, and I think that my body has set this "limit" on my weight loss. I would rather do the surgery and be able to enjoy the rest of my life, than try every fad diet that comes along whlie I'm trying to tell myself that I'm happy.

I know that I'm generally healthy, I have never had any medical issues, and besides having my son 7 years ago, I have never had to go to the hospital. So I'm here watching all of your amazing success stories and getting the nerve to be amongst the losers, forever!

Thanks for listening to me ramble, but I needed to vent and I haven't told anybody else my plans...til now :)

Jaime

      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.
