Let me know when you are in the area, and I will let you know if I get approval again and when the next surgery will be. Glad you are doing well.

I'm doing well. Have less fill than I had when I went in for a fill after one year. Couldn't tolerate it, so all's good, losing weight slowly with restriction at 2.2cc Hope your band is approved soon.

DFW has gotten mighty quiet out there! How is everyone doing? No problems, issues or concerns? Everyone still losing? I had my biggest month yet last month. 18 in one month. I am ripped! Ok, not really, but I am 18lbs lighter.

:mellow: :thumbup:

Hi, I'm Sherri and I live in Waxahachie. I started this process back in March and may have spoken to a few of you back then. I had financing issues (insurance has exclusion) back then ,but I have the $$$ now.

I had bloodwork & EKG done with my pcp today and she's gonna send it to LBS tomorrow or Monday!

I am seeing Dr Benavides in Richardson...

Anyone here still attend the group at his office?

Hey, hey, hey, I am back on the band wagon !! Got rebanded on Monday, 9-15 and am feeling great. A little gas, but definitely not as bad as last time. Feel like I could go back to work, but hubby says, uh? NO. You took a week off, now use it to heal internally. Sometimes he is such a pain in the butt, but I know he loves me and he knows I tend to push stuff. He won't let me this time.

      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.
