Embarassingly enough, I could not understand the receptionist that well, as she has a rather thick accent, and being as I do not deal with that on a day to day basis all I could pick out was she was transfering me to someones voice mail,,when I got the voice mail (I was at work) my 2 way radio started yammering, so I couldn't hear who it was:faint: ... I'm just sure if I did it from home my 3 & 4 year olds would have been "MUCH QUIETER"!!!!

:D lol...well, i think you'll get a phone call soon. Like I said...they are usually good at getting back to you in the time span they say...so, are you ready for the snow??:)

VT border...wow...Yeah...I think you'll get alot more then us..I live on the chicopee, springfield, ludlow border..and thanks to that fact we get the short end of the stick with the plowing..We usually have to call the city of Chicopee a few times before we are plowed...the main roads are good though..how bout your way?

Your better off counting on 4 wheeled drive, I live in Leyden, north of Greenfield, town budget is VERY LOW, they try to wait as long as they can before going out...but I will tell you, they are GREAT when they are out,, you couldn't ask for a better group of guy's. If it was not for budget restraints, they would be at 100%,, any time I have needed one of them they were right there....... BTW how have you been feeling??? Almost a month now!!!

Well, I hope your not "stuck" tomorrow!! My jeep will get me anywhere although I don't plan to go out anytime soon...school's already cancelled here and I don't drive in the snow/ice unless it's an emergency...:) !!!

Band wise I'm great!!! It was a rocky start...i was in such pain for the first week..it wasn't so much the surgery but the gas...holy smokes!!!!! for the first three days I regreted my decision..I even thought I was having some type of allergic reaction...I know...over the top, but the pain was HORRIBLE:eek: ...It started in my shoulder and up through my neck and down my arm (left side)... I've gone through 2 c-sections and they weren't as bad...but I'm good now...gas X is my best friend:) I can now say i've made the best decision for me!!! People have already started to notice my weight drop..I'm down 30 pounds!!! I can eat almost anything!!! i feel bad for all the postings I've read about not being able to handle certain foods, I've had no problems...chicken, rice, bread, toast..nothing...THANK GOD!!! and now I walk everyday about 3-5 miles..I LOVE IT!!! I have so much energy it's sickening!!!! at least that's what my coworkers and friend say, but I've always been hyper...lol...

        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.

        Your so close now! It's gonna be great :) Wishing you a speedy recovery and looking forward to seeing how it goes!

    • buildabetteranna

      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
