I've lost 100#, but I have 100# more to go. So does that mean I am an asshole, qualified to take the asshole exam, or that I just HAVE an asshole???

I just set up a new thread for those of us using Dr. Michael King in Oxford Ms! But it is under the surgeon tab! Oh and i am pre-op and on liquids right now! Will be sleeved in Oxford on 12/30! You are welcome to PM me or I can set up a FB PRIVATE GROUP for us! I will tell you that have done extensive research on surgeons, track records, etc! I have polled doctors and lawyers about safety! Dr. King has an impeccable reputation! I have 2 good surgeons in town that I could use but I wanted the most experienced and knowledgeable about this procedure, so I chose Dr. King! His staff is fantastic!

What if there was a Mississippi Girls room?? :)

MS Queen, I tried to set up a Mississippi Room but didn't have good results. If you will start a new one, I'd love to join. We would certainly have a lot in common since we would be facing a lot of the same type of food problems.... you know Mississippi girls use EVERY occasion, good or bad, to either cook something or go out to eat. Part of our "social make-up" I suppose. Glad to have you on board. Janet

No, I am probably the opposite of a Gman, (government man). My name is Gary, I consider myself a man, and my last name starts out Bat..... I know, not very intriguing..:D

        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
