Thats a good idea Gaffer.

It helps to be a compulsive liar. I have no problem lying to people, although I dont make a habit if it, and I am not able to lie to those I love.

There is this girl at work who is so nosy, and the biggest gossip in the office.

I finally had to tell her that I had a wager with my wife that I could not eat out for a year, and that was the reason why I could not go out for lunch after the 10th time she asked. When she asked what the prize was I told her it was a 50" plasma. She never asked me again.

Hey I know what you mean Andrew. The only people that I know I am doing this are my mom and dad and they are not allowed to tell anyone.

I have been lying to everyone left right and centre. Never thought I had it in me but hey sometimes you just have to protect your right to privacy. :)

Hey, me too. Only a very few people know I had the band. I overheard someone talking about another lady who had it done as though her weight loss wasn't real and she had "cheated". I commented that it is still hard work no matter what tool you have to assist you. I was so happy that I hadn't told anyone I had the band. Maybe when I'm more confident but right now the way gossip in the office goes - NO WAY. So I understand how you have to tell "little while lies" to survive.

Hope everyone is having a great week. One day at a time....

At what point is it ok to take this tape off the scars? They said it would just fall off,well it's been 9 days and it looks like it was just put on despite all the showers. Not that I want to show off this lovely tummy to anyone but it really is ugly so can I just go ahead and pull them off???:)

As long as you can see that the incision is closed and nothing is open anywhere, you should be able to take the tape off. That's what they told me when I had my gallbadder out.. :)

      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.
