Recommended Posts

Yay you Denise...How is it going??? You having a good week???

I am doing good, busy though. What about you, how are you feeling, did you ever call Dr. K? Sorry so many questions. We need to get together sometime. It is hard right now for me to do RR, so maybe we can do lunch, I can always come out your way. Renee' and I have meet up off of I-70 at that mall. Let me know.

Were busy too!! RR is hard for me too. We always have practices on that night. Hopefully, I can make it soon.

No, I didn't call. I always hate to, becuase I never want to be known as the whiney patient. I am feeling better and go in in a week or so, so I will ask about it then.

I would LOVE to do lunch!!! I am so bored now that Hannah is in kindergarten. We could even share!!! Something my family hates doing with me! HA! Let me know when and where!! We could go downtown, that is probably half way for us both. Just tell me when...

Has your scale started moving yet? I will know for me tomorrow!!

Hello, I am very excited that I picked up the phone and made a surgery appt. with Dr. Kirschenbaum for 10/30. Now, I need to convince my hubby that we need to fly out to Denver for this - I got him to agree with surgery, not telling him the potential location!:rolleyes2:

I've been on the phone trying to find a local and inexpensive fill doctor in Chicago - especially I'm being financed for surgery... I don't need to extra expense of trying to pay $500 for fills!

Anyway, I'm excited and nervous all in one.

I am so appreciative of all of the info I have received on this forum.

WELCOME NFAITH!!! This is in my very un-biased opinion the best forum out there. Show your hubby all the before and after pictures. That is what convinced my hubby. I wouldn't think that air fare to Denver would be to expensive.

Congrats on making an excellent choice!!!

You sound like me I never want to bug them so I just wait and ask her or forget altogether. When do you go in, I go next thurs.

How about next week I could do Monday or Wed. Just let me know, or we could do Thurs.

Has your scale started moving yet? I will know for me tomorrow!!

It started I am down to 138 this morning so its a slow start, but I'll take it.

BTW, why does it keep putting the title on our posts?????

I don't know, that's weird.

138 is completely freakin' amazing. Are you feeling a little better?

      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.
