That is a relief!!! I have a couple of coworkers that have had the Lap Band and they have not used it correctly. They are NOT good FAT friends. They try to tell me how to cheat my sleeve when I get it. Also they tried to bully me into cake on my birthday. I said NO. Like I said no good Fat firends.

Well, now you have good fat friends...

And more importantly, good recovering-fat friends...

You'll find more than enough support here...

There are many, many people who are more than willing to help...

Just remember that what works for one, doesn't necessarily work for another...

So while you may get varying opinions on the same subject, take what YOU need from the information and use it..

And don't be afraid to ask ANYTHING...

As you'll see, there are very few things that won't be discussed...

I'm on day 3 preop liquid diet and would give almost anything for a big grilled juicy ribeye! Of course I won't. I won't do anything to jeopardize my life changing surgery!

Wow you are my hero

Yeah...

I get that a lot...

No, but seriously...

Just do what you need to do to get thru the pre-op...

Once you do that, the rest slowly falls into place...

Just keep reminding yourself that the only part of you that can f**k you up is your head...

      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.
