Recommended Posts

I am in St. George, UT, close to 3 National Parks - Zion, Bryce and Grand Canyon. Not too far from Las Vegas either.

Hey, Lain01 - March 14th is a wonderful day to have surgery. Had mine one year ago on that date, and it has been one of the best years of my life.

I think this is a great idea! I am not sleeved yet but I am a revision from band to sleeve. I wanted to go on vacation B4 I got sleeved !! How ironic huh !!! LOL So for all of you out there who would like a VIP travel counselor who by the way "specializes" in Orlando and Walt Disney World travel packages let me know and I will be glad to show you around town !!! This is one of the things I am looking forward to .... to be able to actually "ride the rides" at WDW, Universal Studios and Seaworld.

Id like to generate enough buzz about this topic...I just think that there have been so many people that I have met on here who have and are so supportive and helpful. It would be incredible if we could get enough people interested that would like to plan for a large get together or mini vacation celebration and see how it goes..maybe make a yearly event. Im newly sleeved but this just sounds like fun to me! What do you think?

That sounds fun, great idea :)

I love this! I live visiting new places. I am going to Sacramento in October for a wedding and plan to drive to the redwood national forest.

This is an awesome idea. I'm also in Orlando near the parks. I'm pre-op (no surgery date yet) but can't wait to lose the weight so I can enjoy my favorite rides again. I love the roller coasters in Universal but haven't been on in a while for fear of getting kicked off...

        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!

      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
