I was just about to unsubscribe from the emails, but saw that there is a local group coming to my neck of the woods. (Insert shock face here.) I had my surgery 6 years ago and really got down to a good weight. When I moved here 3 years ago I had an issue and ended up getting all my Fluid out. Partly my fault since I felt I had managed so well. My weight has inched back up. :-( I went to a doctor recently for fills, saw him for 4 months and got two of the tiniest fills ever before he closed up his practice and sent me a bill. It was such a waste not to mention discouraging. Now I'm over it though and am seriously considering going to another doctor and would love to see who in the area is recommended and join your group.

Would love to attend the group as well. I had my sleeve a little over 2 years ago, lost about 120lbs. and was doing great til a took a new and stressful job about a year ago and put on 30lbs. I have taken off about 23lbs of that now and still working at it but could use the support. Look forward to seeing all of you.

I am putting it on my calendar. My oldest son leaves for a year of studying abroad on the 18th, and this will be a great distraction. :)

I am one year post op this month! Excited to go to the doctor on Monday. I don't feel like I have lost as much as some others, but I try really hard not to compare myself.

      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.
