Jenny, Hi and welcome. Just to let you know, there are a few NJ people here but most of us are from other places. I am in Chicago. You have just stumbled into the best place on Lap Band Talk. You will not find a nicer more supportive group of people then we have here. Good luck with the consult, please tell us a bit more about yourself. ~Mandy

Good Morning Ladies, I'm on hold with Disney trying to apply my free dining code. If anyone wants it, it is ZHQ, it's good from mid August through the end of Sept. You have to stay in a Disney Resort, buy at least one park day and the free dining is good for the length of your visit. It is saving me over $900 for 10 days. The normal price for dining plan is $38ish for adults and $17 for kids plus tax. We are going for 10 days. I am sooooo excited. And I actually saw 158.5 on the scale for the last 3 days in a row. So much better then the 160.5 for the last 6 months. It's just possible that I could be at goal by the time my trip rolls around. ~Mandy

Howdy, All!

Same old nothing going on around here.

Mandy - HUGS! Sorry about the scary tumor. Hopefully you will be able to get it taken care of with a minimum of fuss. Glad to hear Abi is stable. Stable is good...

Kat - yeah, Halal is the only meat that Muslims are supposed to eat. It is butchered a particular way and blessed by holy men. BIL/SIL are Muslim. DH and I use it mostly because it is always the same low price, it's really fresh and it has better flavor. It's also handy to have some acceptable food products on hand for company. :]

Cindy - Thanks so much for writing me the letter... Hugs!

Jenny - HI!!! Welcome to our little corner of LBT. I am one of the furriners... I live in Dallas. :] So, tell us all about you.... Husband? Kids? Work? Enquiring minds want to know. Welcome, again!

Sherry - I am jealous of your Disney Chicks! Hope y'all have a great time! Oh, and don't let's get started on those crazy BIL's! I have THREE. Sheesh!

Well - Where the heck is everybody? Am I going to have to round up some more flying monkeys? Check in, people. We miss you!

Sherry, no guilt for you...I go every year without Abi. Try that for guilt, she's only 5. But we manage to go and have a great time :) . I will be there and I'm willing to be a tour guide if you chickas need it. I can also help you make dining plans and such. I have the extra magic hours for the dates that I am there. I have unlimited long distance if you want me to call either of you guys. ~Mandy

Damn Sherry I thought you wouldn't notice all the lingere I bought at Victoria's Secret today. YEAH RIGHT! lol

So we are booked! Staying at Pop Culture, so we're right around the corner from you Mandy I think. I'd love to have lunch some day. It will be SOOOO great to meet!! We'll definitely let you know if we have any questions or need any advice. The best part - our trip including airfaire, meals, room, 6 days of tickets, five nights, and transfers - $650. Not bad, huh?! Thanks again for the advice Mandy!!!

      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.
