So I just had my fill Dr here completely unfill my lapband today. Total of 3.3cc taken out of a 4.0cc band. Did not feel like I had any restriction at all.

He began lecturing me that "you have not worked your lapband hard enough"

LOL.

OH...OKAY Mr Doctor who makes $375 on every fill that does not work. <_<

After five years of fighting with my band and putting all the weight back on, I will make sure and remember that a year from now.

I saved this article from yesterday as I have had this happen. 30 minutes in TJ without realizing I had not turned off my data package. 200 later.

I could have bought a great pair of shoes in 30 minutes. :unsure:

Your surgery will pay for itself. I'm happy for you.

will you be staying at the Marriott like the rest of us? I would imagine that you will be released to the hotel on the same night I fly in (the 9th).

It might be good if we all PM each other our first/last names and phone numbers so we can check on each other for support. I am guessing if I tell the Marriott "I am looking for 1hotmomma" they will think I have lost my mind. LOL

Yes, I am staying at the Marriott. I will send you a pm.

Am I the only one who needs to be on Xanax for my nerves? everyday I go between being very excited for this opportunity and going into the corner, curling into a ball and sobbing.

I am really not liking myself the past two days.

no. I have a Samsung Galaxy. We can always skype. However, I would have to get an account set up. I think we would all be doing so much better with our nerves if we could talk real time (well, at least I would feel better :rolleyes: )

I have Skype if u do want to chat. Somedays I think I look pretty damn cute & wonder if I NEED this ... Then I think I'm only a few months off the pills and have gone up rapidly. If I knew I would stay this size forever I would - but I'm def not ... I don't want to wait till I'm bigger which is inevitable. Pull out some old photos of your largest weight ... And keep it on the fridge x

        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.

      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
