NM Sunshine - use the code - cut and paste it and put it in your signature area. Some people have to do it more than once for it to stick. Good luck, hope that helps!

Vikki - thanks so much for your advice!

I went to signature under my profile and everything I do I come up with 'invalid' ;)

I know computers well. This is about totaly frustrating. I put my code on an empty web page and it, the image, came right up.

I just went to the doctor today to weigh in (I had to go on a liquids only diet because I had gained weight between consults) and found out I lost 11 pounds since last Wednesday! I just need to lose between 4 and 9 pounds before September 17. Let's hope I can do it. On a side note, I'd give anything for a Tomato right now. Is that really called cheating?

Katmeg99 - You can do this! An 11 lbs weightloss already is a huge success in itself on a liquid diet. ;)

You are scheduled for the same date as me 9/18/07.:whoo:

You can be my band twin. lol I'll be there for you for motivation and support. I start my pre-op diet on Saturday and I will definately be needing all the help I can get. :cheer2::banana

Poohlrv I think it is this new windows Vista and all the internet security stuff it has. I need to figure out (among a hundred choices) what in my browser, Vista or Norton is keeping me from displaying the URL. Anyone else have the New Vista?

i had my band yesterday and am home now since an hr ago.

i feel great. just tired. i haven't had any pain yet... which surprised me.

the surgeon told me that everything went reallly well no problems

and today i had the leak test and got to see the band. it was cool watching the liquid barium go down and follow the trail. he said perfect!

so i go back to him next week. i'm on a full liquid diet for one more week next week i'll get soft foods. :wacko:

The nurses were wonderful. i was the only patient last night and the 3 of them liked that.

      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
