My Doctor's Appt



Recommended Posts

Can't share this excitement with anyone else but you guys!

Well, I went to my GP yesterday to get some nerve pills so I could handle Thanksgiving week at Hell-cat's (MIL's).

So, at the doc's office, you know how you have to weigh first? So I took of my shoes and stood on the scale (I actually wanted to strip, but figured the doc would give me more then just nerve pills). :)

I weighed 215 - actually it was 214.8, but she charted it as 215. My last visit was May 15th and I weighed 246. When the nurse told me this my mouth dropped open. I made her repeat it like 3 times.

Its one thing when you see the scale going down at home, but when you have it "officially" recorded, it has a little more impact on you.

To make the day better, I go shopping for a jacket for our trip. I go to JCPenny's and try on a 2x - cause you know the boobs are still a happening thing.

TOO BIG... so I got the 1x.

I think Im starting to realize that Im losing weight!

How great is that? I read someone's muse that it was so nice to revisit the pounds on the way down, that we so dreaded on the way up... I have to agree!

Congratulations!

Congratulations, Paula! With so many things going right for you, MIL will have her dirty work cut out for her.

How lucky most of us are to have our bands to be thankful for this Thanksgiving! (insert dancing turkey here)

      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. 🤞
