Im Still around



Recommended Posts

Hello, everyone.... I am still here.. Trying as always and aways.. I am still having problems, but trying my hardest to make the best of it all. I think I need a fill..... I heard "one" time that it takes 2-3 maybe 4 fills to hit THAT sweet spot... well even thought I have been banded almost 2 years and I have only have had 1 maybe 2 fills after my new band I need to go back to the fact that it can take 3 - 4 fills to hit that "sweet" spot... so I am waiting and I have not givin up yet.. It has been It has been 20 months since I had the band.. I have lost over 70 pounds.. I am waiting to lose more..I know 70 pounds is good, but a start of 341 pounds, and almost 2 years... is not good, but.. my problems and mayjor complications I guess 70 is really good.... I envy everyone out there that started with me, and has already past me... Love ya!!!

I have been with LBT since Dec. of 2004... and I will always be here even if I dont talk much, I am here... Love ya all!!!!!!

Thanks for listen to me vent!

Hi Trish

Good to see you. Hope this band goes a bit more smoothly for you. Patience is hard - but 70 pounds down is better than a kick in the head, right?

Hugs and Good Luck!

Hey Trish-- it's good to hear from you again--maybe now that the weather is sort of settling down you can make it up here to have a fill. Although, Dr. Smith is out of the country right now--I called to get an appt for a fill and could not get in until the 26th of Feb, and I can't wait. This will be my 3rd fill in about 2 months-- I can't seem to find that sweet spot either. Although, I am doing fairly well with my weight loss, but I do feel like I can eat way to much--I just have to force myself not to. If you do make it up anytime soon, let me know, and maybe we can get together. Hang in there, and e-mail me anytime you want to chat, or just vent.

      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
