Hi Bloo,

I'd like to see your face. You sound like a sweet heart.

Have you always lived in the middle east? I'm not terribly familiar with that part of the world as you know.

What do you do for a living? Just curious. I know you're so looking forward to getting your surgery behind you. I can just see you shrinking out of your old body into the new. I know you'll be thrilled.

Jewel

Hey Bloo....how did surgery go? We're all in the same boat and we just moved over to give you a seat too! You know how they say "the grass is always greener on the other side of the hill (or fence)..." In our case it is completely TRUE. Welcome to Bandland! Keep us informed with your progress!

Hope all is well, Bloo.

Interesting, I had a very dear friend/love in college who was from Syria. His nickname in his frat was Bloo. I even made him a sweatshirt with the greek letters on it and embroidered his nickname on it. Just an interesting remembrance.

Nice to see you here and :welcomeB: to LBT and bandland!!!!

      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.
