Best Birthday ever.



Recommended Posts

Yes it was, Yesterday.

I,m married to the love of my life.

I have a very cute 19 month old son ( a mini me )

I,m still alive ( i,m a very clumbsy electrician )

And best of all for the first time i can remember i am thin (ish ) for more than a month.

Thank god or some body for the lap band. I know the band is new and hasn,t really done much yet BUT i,m still very motivated.

I know this dosent make too much sense , But i am happy.

Happy Belated Birthday Mark,

and horray for you and the band is wonderful isn't it.

mysherrijo, it seems we were banded around the same time, I on 7-5-06, you on the 10th, and we have lost exactly the same amount. I enjoy seeing others in my range, it makes me feel really good to see I am not slow, fast or at a standstill. I am just like someone else and that is a good thing. I will watch your progress as a challenge to keep up ,as I feel we have done really well with this silicon belly hoola hoop.

      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. 🤞
