Well as I have been going through my new journey with my lap band I have been looking for a job. Today I was told I got a position that I have been wanting for years. I am so happy and so had to share it with all of you. Thanks for all the info you have been giving me over the last 3 months...I'm leaving offices, but not this site for sure...I still need you all!!! :D

Thanks Everyone...feel like I can do it all now...for a long time thinking I was too old to move on with my life and no one would want me has been very depressing for me...but as they say you are as old as you feel and I feel like I am walking on clouds right now. So I reached one of my goals-to get that job I've been wanting for years...and my second one which I still need to achieve it getting to my goal weight which I am working on with the help of all of you!!! Have an absolutely wonderful day!!!

Yippee! I really feel like in the process of choosing ourselves and our healthy futures there is so much else that happens -- maybe it's the law of positive attraction at work, or the power of intention. We hold new intentions now -- showing up for ourselves, getting in sync with our bodies again, seeking real health -- and it's amazing what else falls into place. So happy for you -- out of food jail and office jail -- wow!

      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.
