Apparently We All Kvetch The Same Way



Recommended Posts

Still learning my way around the new app I guess it hasn't fully sunk in that we see every type of surgery's posts. I've accidentally opened threads from other forums and I see the same dang arguments going on in those forums as ours! The same rants and fights and kvetching.

I just wasted tons of time reading a thread accusing every one on the board about being snobbish, and the vets thinking they have the answers, newbies who learn to make their own choices even if other day they are not workable in the long run, and I was like, WHO is she talking about??

Wrong forum. Lap band folks.

Sigh. And I thought we were special :P

Having had 2 of the 3 surgeries and at times been on 2 of the 3 boards I can affirm that....same stuff, different day, some of us are just nicer about it! (Err, usually)

A bird just told me we are supposed to have separation on the current threads between the two... So hopefully that will be fixed within the week? Until then? get the popcorn out and start clutching your pearls :P

If that's the case then what was the point in combining everything?

I thought we sleevers couldn't kvetch because of the lack of ghrelin.

Some of us still have our sense of humor...and use it as often as possible to distract ourselves from our sagging skin and thinning hair.

And then it took me 15 minutes to find my own dang thread. Apparently just coz you start it doesn't mean you're subscribed to it

Poor Alex and team. I don't envy them this task. It's gone quite well, considering the scale of things.

Everything will get straightened out, and in the long term will be so much better. Think of the benefits of people just researching weight loss surgery. They can come to one place to learn about all their options available and hear personal experiences from people who have had the different types of surgeries all right here.

Oh no worries! Frankly with all the functionality they had to port over I think it's gone VERY well. They should be proud.

There sure is an uproar, huh? People want it fixed and they want it fixed NOW! I feel sorry for team having to deal with all of this. Usually with any new technology, there will be glitches.

I'm an avid "current thread" reader, so I'm sure I will be constantly posting in the wrong forum, lol!

        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
