Hello.

Just wanted to pop by and say hello, how is everyone doing? Hibernating inside through those flurries last night like me ?! (front range and city people I guess).

Just haven't been on lately cause of family stuff. I wanted to stay accountable, so I am posting again :tt2:

Excited to hear from you guys :thumbup:

Cool and good luck, I will send you an e-mail for sure! :w00t: I am a student at Metro downtown now and work as a personal assistant. Are you excited for your surgery?

Penrose Hospital on Nevada has a monthly Lap Band support group every first Thursday of the month. Their next one is tomorrow evening at 6pm in conference room CC-A or CC-B. Its in the cancer center on the first floor.

I should be there tomorrow night if I am feeling up to it. I just had my surgery on Monday at Penrose.

Thank you so much! Is it open to anyone? I'd definitely like to attend. I haven't been banded yet, but would like to get hooked up with a support group prior.

      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.

      Had a sleeve in 2017, lost over 100 pounds. Had a DS surgery this year (2025) for more sustainable weight loss. 🤞

      The 14th was my day. I am home and recovery is going pretty smooth. They even let me walk out of the hospital. Picture of me in recovery curtesy of my boyfriend lol.
