I had tried posting more...didn't work. I know you have to have a subject that others find interesting and I guess I got really discouraged when I announced I had my surgery date and nada.

How are you and your wife doing?

Sheree,

i've checked out your other posts and there have been replies to all of them. not sure where you are looking for replies, but they are there. :)

Chickie, I think you have a few more fans on this board than you think. You and Puddin are my inspiration. Seeing both of your before and after pics gives me hope that I can achieve my goal. It got me up off the couch and running and out of the house on my bike. I have been working my butt off to get to where you guys are. You had such an amazing transformation and seeing the pictures and reading the stories I know I can be there too some day.

I survived on apple juice and chic broth the first weeks. Boy, the next 2 weeks cream Soups tasted so good. Where r u getting the surgery done? I'm excited for you. I'm a slow loser, I had the surgery in Mexico in Nov 06. I'm only down 30 lbs but I'm fine with that. Good Luck to you . Keep us posted.................Kelley

I think a lot of the new threads are being pushed down the board too quickly by the regular "chat" threads (i.e. Banded Bikers, Bootcamp, Twoterville and Onederland, Gay & Lesbian, etc.). Maybe there needs to be a place for these groups to talk regularly. I know they started as regular threads at one time, but now they've taken over the first page of the support page. JHMO.

Derbygirl,

I'd actually had the same thought and think it's a great suggestion that would benefit all (including those on group chat trying to find their threads). Would you feel like raising the point to a moderator?

We know you and for the right reasons - you are one of us!!!!!!

Congrats on the surgery date, learn all you can from the experienced ones and then make up your mind to just do it!

The band doesn't cure us from our weight related issues, but I sure wouldn't want to lose mine!

Later,

I'm skipping 2 pages of posts just to say.........

HELLO THERE! I mainly post on the shrinking violets thread in the general discussion boards........ COME ON OVER WE ARE A BUNCH OF BIGMOUTHS! LOL

I think the main this is to just jump in and post....... I will admit that before surgery I DEVOURED each and every thread, and now that I'm IN IT I don't as much....

I just had my first fill on Monday June 4, so thats where I am in my journey...

and CHICKIE.................. I do like your posts and your pics are SOOOOO inspirational, but I don't like exercise, BUT I KNOW I WILL LEARN TO LIKE IT EVENTUALLY LOL

My advice to all people in this same situation.. is just to POST, POST, POST!

      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.
