I have been riding with my 9 year old son. We do 4 miles around the neighborhood. He is a football player, a little chunky, and wants to slim down a little and get faster. I feel proud that he is interested in getting fit.

ParaGirl,

That's fantastic. It's great to be out doing exercise with your son! Being active with my daughter was a giant motivator for me.

You are doing great too! 53 pounds since October is amazing! Welcome to our wacky world.

Look at you at 201.

I am tired of snow. It snowed another couple inches after I got to work.

Saturday is my anniversary. I would be uber cool to see the ones by then. You'd think I'd work extra hard to make that happen, but I'm not feeling the extra part. I work plenty hard most of the time. :thumbup:

But thanks for noticing.

Hi everyone!

I need some help...I have an "extra" appointment with my surgeon tomorrow (one that I requested this early, instead of waiting until the one two weeks before surgery). I am going to talk to him about the Realize band, Lap Band options (APS, APL). If you were to do it over again, what would you ask, or request?

I would request an APS because I have the older 10cm band. Plus there are more Allergen bands around than the Realize ones.

I went to spin class tonight and used my new shoes. OMFG I frigging love them. It might have been the best spin class ever. It definitely felt weird to walk in my regular shoes after class.

Yeah, it's fun to spend the state's money.

And I do buy stuff with my own dollars for me too while I'm there...nice perk.

My fingers are crossed for you B. Hope you get that call too. We'd love to share our nasty cold winters with you! :thumbup:

      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.
