My family....the only ones that know I had the surgery.....think nothing of my sliming now. One kid will come into the kitchen and say wheres Mom and the other responds...she is sliming, she will be back in a minute!!

We should make bibs with the catch pocket at the bottom like the babies have that say slime happens instead of spit happens!!!!! Throw that on during dinner....and never have to leave the table!!!LOL

You guys crack me up!

Y'all are sooo funny. I think my co-workers are looking at me like I'm crazy because I'm in my office laughing (alone!) :Banane30:

I have only been tight enough to get stuck once and that was while I was getting the fill (applesauce wouldn't go down) - I thought I was going to drown in my own spit.

I spit food into paper napkins when I know it's not going to go down well and I'm a burpin' fool now!

Yea Band!!:heh:

I was visiting with my grandkids last week and the daughter-in-law had cooked dinner (thats unusual in itself) I had taken a bite of garlic bread...chew chew chew...woops....a HAIR! ! ! ! Out came the whole bite with a 12in hair attached. DIL almost threw up, I apologized, but it was HER hair. Gag me, thats what I got for trying to eat bread!

I am beginning to exeprience the PB thing too. things get stuck as I often go back to old habits of chowing stuff down. I am beginning to learn as I am new to this. well its nice to know I cant just pig out anymore with a nasty burp. It has happened to me during staff meetings. I know its going to get worse when i get more fills. only one fill so far. FUN!

OMG...great thread.

Yes, I know the feeling. All I can think of is the movie The Fly, when Jeff Goldblum regurgitated his food..and then looked over and said.."Oh, that was gross, wasn't it".....lol.

I don't even think anything of it anymore.

Non-bandsters get really grossed out when I tell them about the PB'ing.

Also, I do some pretty weird stuff to my food when I'm eating...like just picking the top layer off a piece of pizza or just eathing the crust.

I went to a wedding this weekend and a friend who does not know about the band starting actually yelling at me.."Eat your Food". She just thought I was probably preoccupied or something and I needed to start eating.

OH well.

      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. 🤞
