Hey Randy: Picture this...a gut that has no place to release the gas from carbonation...sounds like a bomb. That is what you will be making inside your body. After banding you will have more gas than you ever did before without the carbonation. You will learn to move around to allow a burp to release the pressure. Try to lessen anything that makes gas ore you may explode, or wish that you did. Good Luck Banding works but has limits. Listen to others so that you do not need to have their pain.

Hi Guy's

Hey welcome Tarami !!!!:clap2:

-------------------------

that video is great, can't wait to try it...

-------------------------

I'm still sick, getting a little better I guess , been loading up on drugs..:D

-------------------------

I guess I'm lucky, I didn't have to do the nutritionist or a physiologist with my Doc. That must mean he thinks I'm Fat and Nuts and don't need a second opinion on it..:guess.. LOL... Boy the weekend is here already and Tue will be here sooner then I think for the trip to Mex. I sure hope they have a extra long bed for me, I'm 6ft. 6in. tall and I really don't want my feet to hang off the edge of the bed all the time..later guys Ted

That's me Ted.

I'm arriving a little earlier than that. I'm actually in Florida right now for work and don't have my information with me, but I believe I get to San Diego around 10:30 a.m.

See you there.

Jeff

      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.
