Dee...we are neighbors!! Well, not really, but in the grand scheme of things, we are relatively close! I have a good friend who taught in Hisperia last year, and this year she is joining our school!

Hey new kids, and everyone else. Hope you are all doing well. I got back from Key West yesterday, was a lot of fun, but I am STILL over restricted. I talked to my doctor while on vacation and he said to call him on Monday if it's still too tight. I haven't PBed or thrown up at all (thankfully) but I have a lot of discomfort and I can feel the band is too tight. I'm back on liquids until I get this sorted out...and let me tell you, when you are in the Keys and limited to liquids, there are very few options...I hope tequila counts as a liquid because that's about the only thing I consumed there...it's so weird, though because I had my last fill over a month ago, but I only started feeling restriction last Friday. Thankfully the doctor didn't think I had a slip...let's hope he's right.

take care, everyone

definately relating to the PBing , etc. etc.! :omg: OMG anyone experienced the lump in the throat thing? it's like someone is choking me, very painful and a bit scary. it generally happens on the first bite and on well chewed and familiar foods that didn't do it before, it's very freaky. :nervous

HEY, neighbor yes we are pretty close, I worked one summer in P.S. that was more then enough for me. I do come in to your area when I am out training people who say they have never been. It gives me a good 5 hour day, only because I take the long way around. I may come down in November for the festival, have not been to that one yet.

Take care, have a good week.

Where are you from? I hate to hear of anyone seeing a doctor they can't stand! My doctor is awesome! I wish I could say that for all of them. Good luck with everything.

      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. 🤞
