I would like to congratulate the essay winner also. Has she/he even acknowledged that they have won the essay contest. I was one of those who spilled my guts also in hopes of being the lucky winner, but thats ok, it was worth it just knowing that someone will benefit.:) And now we are all curious as to who this lucky person is and maybe alittle about them. Also curious as to how many essays were turned in. Good Luck to that lucky person and I wish them the best. I am hoping to be banded this year and looking forward to it.

Hi everyone. 11 people wrote to us, spilling their guts as some may put it. We wish we could help all of you. To all of you that would like to know who the winner is, I'm sorry they have to make that choice. I can tell you (with their permission) it is a she and she will be flying out from the mid west to spend some time with us and go over paper work. She is thinking about having her surgery by a doctor in our area, who will then give a referral to a fill MD in her area. Thank you all again and God Bless.

      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.
