Welcome neighbor!

Are you having your surgery in Tennessee?

I won't hold it against you that you're a Packer's fan. At least you scheduled your surgery AFTER the Packers come to town :)

Go Titans!

Hi Tricia!

Yes, with Dr. Morton.

As far as the Packers go....DH is from Wisconsin. I'm a Titans girl all the way!! Makes for an interesting time in the house during football season. At least UW & UT never play each other! Go Big Orange!

What part of TN are you from? Just outside Nashville for me.

Jen,

I'm in Antioch right down the road from you! :)

If you have any questions, don't hesitate to ask/email me.

Shellyj,

I emailed you regarding fill doctors in Tennessee. I'll be going back to Mexico in a few weeks for my first fill, but would prefer to find someone locally after that.

If you're a Titan's fan, you're alright in my book! :eek:

Hey you guys in TN: I am planning a trip to Nashville this month. I will be in town from the 26th through the 30th for a family event. I would love to meet some of you if you can get together. I used to live in Nashville for 8 years. My daughter lives in Clarksville and my Mother lives in Kentucky so I come to visit often.

Let me know if it is possible to meet for lunch or something.

Penni,

I would be up for lunch one day. I'm planning on flying back to Mexico for my first fill at the end of the month, but the date hasn't been set yet, so just let me know as your plans are more settled.

shellyj,

It's a small world. I used to work over by the airport across from Sams but our office has since moved downtown. I live off Anderson Rd. just off Murfreesboro road. :)

OK my plans are as such. I arrive in town on the 27th and will be in Nashville through the 31st. I leave that morning for Jamaica with a girlfriend. I have a committment on the 29th but for the most part the rest of the time is free. Just let me know.

I will be staying at the Prime Hotels and Resorts over by the Airport off Donelson Pike. It used to be the Wyndham Hotel but the name changed.

        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.

      3. buildabetteranna

        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
