I'm a little confused. If I see this thread does that mean I'm a VIP member? Glad to be here.

I see VIP under your name. So you must be one....lol

Awesome ! I use the iPhone app so I can't see whatever's under people's names, including mine.

We've been working on a new BP app which has better functionality and features (Tracking, video exercises, etc) It's coming along ok but taking a lot longer than I had hoped.

Check your credit card statement next month. Thank you for supporting such a worthy cause!

JK! :P :P :P

I provided VIP membership to members that have contributed to BP over the last year or so. It's the least I can do for all of you. If anyone wants a digital copy (Kindle, Nook or PDF) of any of my books, please just PM me and I'll be happy to provide them free of charge.

@@Alex Brecher Thanks! At first I wondered what that VIP was, and then I found this forum and thought it was a mistake. I seriously was going to check my credit card statement, thinking perhaps I signed up! Then I saw others also wondering, and thought it must be a "free trial"! So thank you for the exclusive access. I feel important :)

Thank you for this forum. I was one that was very active and left the boards due to the amount of negativity at certain times and unrealistic expectations of some. I came back because I am considering revision surgery due to gerd, hernia, and lack of weightloss post pregnancy. I am looking for others that have had revision surgery. I had my VSG done in Bogota, CB by an amazing team and had great follow up care. We are now back in the US and I will most likely have surgery with Dr. Halmi.

Nice to read and be included in this positive forum. Thank you positive posters!

After many years, I do understand some frustration with negative people or those that choose to not follow dr instructions..... Maybe some docs don't give out enough info and directions?

I got a 6 page handout in 2006, after outpatient banding w/ quick check up the following day,and I'll see you in 6 wks.

Anyway, glad to be here. Lots of good advice....and some yuks.

      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.
