Crash- Congrats on your decision. About the cathetar. ME TOO.

I was told at my pre-op I would have one. I swear to you, that is the ONLY thing I thought about for 5 days (till surgery). Before they put me under, I was still having butterflies about it.. that was honest to goodness almost a dealbreaker for me. My mom told me it's not THAT big of a deal, I'll be asleep when they put it in.. but not when I wake up, oh dear!

So anyway, right before I went under I asked a nurse 'So which one of you is putting in the cathetar?'.. and she laughed and said "Lap-band patients don't get the catheter". And I rambled about how happy they just made me, and how ready I was now, blah blah and was put to sleep.< /p>

Crash,

Welcome! This is definately going to be the biggest and best ride you've ever been on!

This Board is priceless to me. Was before I decided on my surgery, and is months after.

SO glad to see you here.

Thanks for all the support, folks. You're all too kind.

In fact, you're all so nice that I can't decide whether you're Canadian or Cult. :D

Right now I'm focusing on screenwriting, as I live in Los Angeles and can more easily make something happen in that area should I be capable of churning out some decent pablum.

But ironically, you're not too far from the truth - Romantic Comedies.

What can I say, under this rough exterior lies a big, soggy... well, you get the idea.

We're learning WAAAAAYYYYYY too much about young crash. So far we've learned about what you dont' want in your penis and your soggy underbelly...

<check, please>

Naw, just kidding. Hey... can I star in your next romantic comedy about a guy who goes in for lapband surgery and meets Meg Ryan on the Internet and falls in love - only to meet her on the top of the Empire State Building and jumps off of it into a volcano?

Wait... I think I've got those mixed up. Dammit. This lack of booze thing is really starting to affect my senses...

(T-Minus 7 days for me...) :whoo:

Your date is coming up soon, amigo. Good luck with it and let me know how it goes. I've got a month 'til mine - in the meantime I'm picking out all the mesh shirts I'll wear to show off my my new six pack.

Mesh is the new black.

While you're in Mexico, can you pick me up some of those thongs they sell pretty much on every street corner? Maybe one with a Harley logo on it... or a picture of a weed leaf? Yeah, I'm pretty sure I'll look good in a thong. If you can't find that, how about with a pissing Calvin peeing on a FORD logo or something. I'm excited for you, it's really going to be a cultural experience.

Hell, screw the lap band surgery!! I'm just going straight for the thong!!

My only culture I'm going to get is that my surgery is in Overland Park - home of Target and soon to be home to all of my money while I'm in surgery and my wife goes shopping there.

(And yes, I'm freaking out... 36 hours to go - so I'm pretty much living on this message board...) I think I've read every horror story on what can go wrong on Friday. It's kind of reverse psychology... but then again, I'm an idiot so... it could just be harshing my mellow.

I'll keep ya posted.

PS... I took my "before" picture today. (Chris Kamler's Blog Maybe the Royals will be good by the time I finally lose weight.)

PPS... I still expect you to take me up on that Romantic Comedy bit. At least give me 5% rights on the back end. (I don't know what that means, but I like it...)

L8r,

      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.

      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.
