I am originaly from Texas, but recently lived in OKC for about 4 yrs, absolutely love it there. However, currently live in ANCHORAGE ALASKA. Hope to be moving back to Oklahoma in the Spring 2007. Will either be OKC or around Lawton havent decided. I am 11 months out. Would love to get involved in support group when I get back. Don't have one here in Anchorage.

I am an Okie living in Dallas now. Grew up and graduated in Broken Arrow. Wish I could get back up there, but the job market is just too good here in Dallas. I do miss the slower pace for sure.

Good to see all my neighbors are doing well. Those of you who are post-op look like you are doing great and even Sunshine who is pre-op is dropping. I didnt lose any weight on my pre-op diet. :grouphug: Not even the week I was on liquids! I am about an hour from Tulsa and 2 hours from OKC, but would be willing to drive for get-together sometime. It feels good to have people around who know what you are going through.

What a wonderful idea....maybe this summer we can plan a "get together" for all of Oklahoma bandsters.

Hey sunshine, that sounds good. Also I see you have a surgery date for January. :clap2: Cool ! Good luck and let me know how things are going. I went for my post-op appointment yesterday and doctor said I am doing great, just like I should be. I am going to get my first fill Jan 3rd. woohoo. I am so happy I did this. I'm sure you will be too.

I don't know. Any time is great for me. I don't work weekends anymore,so I am up for a drive on a weekend. Anybody know a good central location that's cool to meet?

Maybe we should meet up in Alaska, I have never been there!! OKay, well maybe not. Lets see we have OKC, Tulsa, Broken Arrow, Pauls Valley, Dallas, Muskogee.

There is also another OK thread, I vote we all start using that one, since I started this one I could just kill it. Sunshine started the other one. I think I will pop on over there to see how she is doing.

      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. 🤞
