Nothing exotic or inspiring about mine. It's my name and employee number. Easy to remember! Lol

Mine comes from when I was little. My name is Tina Marie. My brother couldn't say his M's very well, so it turned into Tinaree.

My daughter's name is Dawn Marie. Her twin sister always called her Dawnyree. Very similar to your story. :-)

As 50th birthday present to myself I bought a scooter. It is so much fun to ride I feel like a kid again, hence "scootergirl" rather than "scooter middle aged lady". Thanks to my sleeve I have lost enough weight to carry my daughter on the scooter with me. We have a great time together as we ride. Thank you, sleeve.

Lol- I did this for my 49th birthday except mine is red. :)

Great thread! I wanted something stealthy (I'm pretty secretive about the surgery) and I was celebrating the device I was having installed in my body because I was so nervous about the whole thing. Also I was in a book group called Salonistas, so I transferred that to Bandista.....here I am, whole new me.

I chose my name "geekygal" as my education and experience is in animal behavior and clinical science. That also is why I have a dolphin as my avatar. I do love science fiction and am a big Star Trek fan even through I am 55!

To follow the previous posts, I found my stripper name via a generator and its "Heidi Heaven Fire" but that's not the first one I got. The first one was a bit too politically incorrect for this forum, LOL!

I go by different names people call me like boogiebaby or Mia but Maynard is a name my friend calls me. She always asks me, "Good stuff Maynard?" So I figured why not. lol. Something different.

      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.
