Good luck, Yoda! Should be fun :huggie:

(Cloe: HOW can I possibly look like some 100lb chick in spandex?! Maybe the long, darkish hair... but... anyways, I'd never be goin' that hard on an elliptical!)

LOL @ Irish....you have an excellent memory, my friend!!

My fill went well....last time I had to wait for over an hour for Dr. J to show up .....(remember I go to the hospital for it)....and this time Dr. Y was waiting for me.....from the time we parked the car, went in, registered, had it done and was back at the car, only 30 mins passed! (20 of those were waiting in line to register!). Last time the whole thing took almost 3 hours! (and the cost of hospital parking SUCKS)! Dr Y. got me port on the first hit (without even using the fluro) and he put in .5 ccs. I didn't want a whole cc plus he said that would likely be too much. He wasn't even gonna do the fluro thing but I was so disappointed and told him I liked seeing it!! LOL So, he did it for me and we watched the barium solution (which I actually like drinking) trickle down. Good news: he said I no longer need to have it done by fluro (hmmmm....mebbe not so good...it is MUCH easier for me to get to the hospital in Scarborough than to go downtown TO to the clinic!!)....he said the port is easily accessible now (?) and they should have no problem. Plus he said I can tell them that I want HIM to do the fill at the clinic....so that is a good thing.

I really like him...he is so very personable...and ladies....yes, I find him to be very good looking.....forget Dr. C!!!!

I dooooo feel the extra .5 ccs for sure. I will def. stick to fluids the rest of the day and likely tomorrow. I feel a bit of that golfball feeling in the back of my throat....but I know that will likely go away (I hope!).

I hope this will do the trick and kickstart me again.

AND.....today we purchased an excellent "recline" exercise bike from costco at an awesome price. I couldn't believe it was that cheap....given the high quality of the bike (I know those bikes well from the gym)....so we just spent the last 2 hrs putting it together...well....errrr... Mr Yoda did it and I helped (watched!)....actually, I did hand him some nuts and bolts so I guess I DID help!

So, I'm excited about that.....now I will have 2 machines at home to chose from....AND I'm hoping Mr Yoda will do the bike thing.

Alrighty....guess I'll go have supper now (juice!)....

:lost1.5lbs:

sorry for ramblin' along ....

      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.
