Elmer Fu_ _?

I know an Elmer. He stutters.

But he's the nicest guy you'd ever wanna know.

Now we have an Elmer's pancake House, but Dawg and I haven't been there since he first arrived in Boise, back in April of 99. :)

CBMI (according to NIH website) 39.1

i.e. I wouldn't qualify for surgery anymore! (not like I did anyway with insurance...)

I didn't know about all of your kids La_Madam. My hear goes out to you. Cancer runs strong in my DH's family. He was diagnosed at 20.

You are definitely a strong woman.

Well Herrroooo September thread! Ok, I posted in the August thread about the tattoo but I wanted to share it here too.

Yesterday I decided I wanted a tattoo to kind of cover my diaphram scar. It's color has been bothering me. My skin, pale around my belly and my scar was very dark.

I wanted something significant and relevant to why the scar was there. The scar meant "change". The Scar represents the Changes I wanted in me. I wanted to lose the weight, become more active, live longer, look better. It's the Scar of Change and thats what the Chinese Symbols mean.

Forgive me if this picture offends anyone. Please send me a PM if it does. I'll take it down.

The tattoo looks excellent, might have something to do with the canvas too tho. You look super skinny.

      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.
