Hey guys,

Glad everyone had a great time at the first Denton dinner!! Wish I could've been there, but will certainly be there next month, unless I'm called out of state again. My dad is on hospice due to cancer, so I may have to travel again at some point. I actually left the hospital where my nephew is to come up and see my parents. I will return to the hospital today or tomorrow. My nephew is improving, but he is still "waking up" and doesn't really know what has happened. He will be in intensive speech therapy, physical therapy (which I do), and occupational therapy to help him recover. Thanks again for everyone who is praying for Brian.

Hey Mary,

Very happy to hear your nephew is doing better. Our continued prayers are with you and your family. Are you going to be staying there for an extended time?

Richard, thank you very much for the bandster picture. Maybe you could post it on our thread here?

Again, to everyone at the meeting the other night. Was great to meet you.

Hello Ladies,

I'm actually the "Leader" of a lapband support group called "Live Band*Aid" and we meet the third monday of each month at a church in Carrollton. I also host a monthly dinner usually in the Lewisville area.

If your interested in more information about this group please let me know.

Hi Persistance, I don't know about any meetings in the El Paso area. Perhaps post a general post in the Texas forum?

Our group would certainly welcome any bandster or potential lapp-bander who is interested. I say the more the merrier.

I think Mary planned this one because she, I and others were interested in a meeting for the Denton area. I know I am happy about because I don't care to drive in toward Dallas but was very interested in all the benefits of a support group.

Is this something that is just for women? Because there are men in this forum, too.

Now, wait a minute. I don't think I'll welcome anyone from Green Bay. Well, maybe if they promise not to wear a Packers shirt or start talking about Brett Favre...and none of those stupid little cheese-head hats!

Hey everyone!! So glad to see the pic. Richard, can you email it to my account if you saved my email address? I would surely appreciate it!! Maybe you could identify who is who, also.

I'm supposed to be flying home Wednesday, but I will see what happens. I can change my ticket with no extra charge due to the nature of my visit. Of course, my hubby and 4 teenagers miss me (at least I hope they do...a little...lol) and I know my 2 dogs do (for sure...lol), so I won't stay too long. I saw my dad who is 3 hours north of where my nephew is and he is declining day by day due to cancer. My nephew had a rough weekend, as far as he wasn't as alert, sleeping a lot, but today showed that he is understanding more and physically able to do more, too. They will be evaluating him for a rehab hospital tomorrow where he will hopefully go and get lots of physical therapy, occupational therapy, and speech therapy.

Take care everyone and will "stop in" again soon!!!

        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.

        Your so close now! It's gonna be great :) Wishing you a speedy recovery and looking forward to seeing how it goes!

    • 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
