Hello there I'm new



Recommended Posts

We have a secret code name for my Lap Band procedure in my house and it is called The Dance or Lap Dance. That is why I chose LAP DANCER for a name.

I have my appt. with my surgeon on Monday. We will set a date at that time. I have completed all the required things and am simply waiting to have it done.

Nice to be here and I look forward to getting to know you all.

Welcome to the board. I've had my band one year and I'm thrilled with the results. I hope that you will have much success along your journey as well. Good luck!

To Yvonne: Best to you on Monday. Do let us know how you are doing, feeling.... I'm so excited for you.

To Grace: The secret code name ended up being a funny thing. Thanks for agreeing with me. I think that code is better than something like "and the rooster crows at midnight" you know? (laughing)

Dolphin Dreams: You must be by the ocean! I love your name.

Fitz: Thank you for the warm welcome.

Hi all,

I am also having my surgery on Monday. The nerves are beginning to kick in. I am feeling very restless but don't want to do anything. I need support to get me through the week end.

Well, like everyone i love your name, welcome to the community

It does feel like a community Charles. Thanks so much.

CarMVitzHi all,

I am also having my surgery on Monday. The nerves are beginning to kick in. I am feeling very restless but don't want to do anything. I need support to get me through the week end.

Monday is a special day for me too. Best of luck to you CarMVitz. I'll be thinking of those who have gone before me. Maybe what you are feeling isn't so much nerves kicking in but the adreneline of EXCITEMENT of what is yet to be!

My surgery is also on Monday 11/27, and yes, I am a bundle of nerves. Can't wait for it to be over.

I'm new here too. I think what is such a thrill for me is reading those posts where people say things like the above "my is Monday" and then you see them post back afterwards. HealthQuest I wish it were me on Monday. But I will bide my time. Soon enough. Sincerest wishes for a quick in and out. Be healthy!

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

    • 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
