So would you al recommend getting a new SEAT, or just a gel seat cover? Cause if I'm gonna get a new seat I'll need to get it before Sat and have my dad put that on for me too. Haha

I know a lot of folks like the gel covers...but I'm not one of them. I had a cover and despised it...didn't stay in place very well. I would get a new seat. And I agree that the smaller the seat, the more comfortable. Weird, I know. Mine is very similar to J's.

New seat much better than cover. Also, C is right - smaller = better. At the end of the day, you should have two small pressure points - each the size of a silver dollar. Easier on you than a bigger, fluffier seat that will make one big pressure point. Seems bass-ackwards, but, two smaller is better than one bigger...

Anatomical seats like J's are very nice. Seats can be hard to buy - everybody is built a little differently down there. What works for one person may not quite work right for someone else, and seats that look similar may feel very different.

Probably not what you want to hear, but many people end up with a collection of seats & pedals before they find what really works for them.

Well I hate that you guys are getting hit with the crap that was supposed to hit us, but I am sure glad it is not going to drop another 10 inches on us this weekend. I need this snow to melt. It is supposed to be cold but getting warmer by next weekend. Maybe, just maybe I will get to ride Big Sexy in a week.

This is a snow on a table on my deck. It looks hazy because the snow is continuing to fall.

Yeah Happy March Blizzard!

J - You look awesome! Happy bandiversary! That's quite the snow. Hopefully, it will be the last big snow of the year, so you can get down to the important business of biking...

      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.
