May '06 Bandsters - June Chat



Recommended Posts

Thanks for the reply OU! Maybe this will prompt some more replies!

Two years is coming up quickly. Lets get on here and catch up Maysters!!

I have reached the 100 pound goal, I've held steady for quite some time now. I started working with a personal trainer this January and have lost many inches! Neat to see and feel the muscles some of which I didn't realize I had! The big 50th B'day is this July too! Oh the fun!!

Got laid off from my job last month, bummer but that just pushes me into a new direction I think.

Will be getting a brand new Grandson within the next few days... at least my very pregnant Daughter in law hopes anyway. Update: She's having labor pains as I write to tonight may be the night! Yippeee!

Still working toward my degree, hoping to have that BBA by the end of the year.

Sure hope all are well and good on this fine day.

Congrats!!:)

You have done really well. You have a lot going on and are still maintaining. That is wonderful.

I reach goal weight in February 2007 and have maintained pretty well since. By pretty well, I am about 25 pounds over where I said I wouldn't exceed, but am working to get that back off now. I am about 2 months post op from Tummy Tuck. The second best thing I have done for myself besides the band. It did wonders for my self esteem I have a link in my signature for pics. Everything else is going well.

      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.
