umm depends on what kind of place we want to meet at.. i'm like umm. do we want to meet at a cafe/restaurant or some other type of place. My thought where to find a coffee/tea house that way folks could sit and chat.. and not have to worry about food. Will have to look around for some where. i know the wildflower bakery in chandler mall tends have groups that meet there as they have some large tables that can sit a bunch of folks but not sure if the location is suitable.

Sounds good so far! I am a west valley girl at heart so don't know many east valley locations. I have been to the chandler mall though once with work! Lol

Come on people we need more input!!

There's a tea shop at Tempe market place that would be great and there seems to be plenty of outdoor seating as well. The bakery inside chandler mall would be perfect too

Did you have the same tall good looking Anesthesiologist I had? That was my only complaint about the surgery center- they wouldn't let me take him home! I know he would have made me feel better quick ;) lol- guess I shouldn't assume you are a woman as I can't see your profile and your screen name is Hope lol

How are you doing?

Lol, I did! I recall telling the nurse and my husband how cute he was! I am doing well, the first few days were rough but I feel like I'm learning to read my body and the band better. Having my first fill next week, nervous and excited! How are you ?

        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!

      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
