Thanks for the insight. I had my 59th birthday yesterday and desided I better get off my duff to get my life back before it's to late. 12 years ago I lost 168 lbs. in less than a year, and was in the best shape of my life. But I did it while taking Redux. I was one of the lucky ones and didn't really have the medicial issue that many others did. Needless to say, I have gained my 168 lbs. back and really miss all of the fun I had shopping at regular people stores. It didn't hurt hearing my wife tell people I looked like Tom Selick now. Well I am back looking more like Shrek. I hope Megan has good things to say about her experiance, because I can't afford the cost here in the USA

She will, tell megan McCall Sink sent you and she will take good care of ya!

Even if you cant get the surgery she is fantastic as a weight consler. She has been there she knows the thoughts and the patterns and she puts things out there you would never think of!

And remember if you get it or if you dont get it, its going to be a struggle either way so get your mind right and you will do just fine!!

Hey ...I'm near St. Louis also. Just right across the river in IL. I just got my band April 17, at new start. So far so good! :)[/quote

Hey I am also across the river and am currently in the process of going through the steps.. You should email me and maybe if we live close enough we could go walking or something...

      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.
