need some support here!! I was doing really good until December, one year after my surgery. I was only 25 pounds from goal. I went back in to get another fill and Wendy decided I was too tight so she took some out. I went back a month later and had gained a pound, I feel no restriction at all now. She put some back in but I still feel very little restriction and according to my scales have gained another 1 1/2 pounds. At this rate I will be right back where I was in no time. I plan to go back in 2 weeks for another fill but now I'm scared that it won't work anymore. Has anyone else had this problem? Sorry if I'm whining too much - but I was finally starting to feel good about myself for the first time in many years and get really scared when I start gaining again. HELP!!

The St. John's support meetings for 6+ month out is the 4th Monday of every month at the surgery center from 5:30-7:00. I need to get to a meeting myself. I've back-slidden some and need to stop it before I get out of control.

I was wondering if anyone knew when the Support meeting is? I have never been and would like to go!

If you are wanting the group that is 6 months and under its the 2nd Monday of every month 4th floor in surgery center where you do your behavior class. If your 6 months and over its the 4th Monday of every month. Look forward to seeing you. It starts at 5:30 till 7 p.m They are very good!

Hi guys! I got my 3rd fill or 4th... can't remember. I was gaining a couple pounds and now i am at 100 pounds loss. Kindof stuck but i don't work out so I think that is something I need to incorporate to loose more. But i'm doing good and feel great! Anyone ever heard of Menstrual Cramps getting worse after a major weight loss?? I never had bad cramps but GEEZ they are badddd now for sure! Just wondering if anyone ever heard that from anyone?

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!

      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.

        Am feeling this right now. My surgery date is 4/1. Sign the consent tomorrow. I feel like I overloaded myself with too much info, too many opinions. Got to the point where I was wondering if I should do this. Then I thought of my reasons for taking this step and that settled my nerves. Still get moments of doubt but am striving forward. Am just going to follow my book from the surgeon. Joined this because I was told by my dietician that I should do this for support
