I'm here in Lake Oswego! I am pre-band having had my sleep study already and pre-op stuff next week. Once all the doctor visits are done I guess I get my surgery date. I'm going with Emma Patterson.

Nice to meet you guys!

Hi, I'm an Oregonian. I had my surgery on September 20,2007 by Dr Tersigni in Coos Bay. I've been doing well, lost 26 lbs since then. Had my first fill on the 31st. I like Dr. Tersidni too.

How did you get your "ticker" I went to the web site, got it all set up but didn't know how to post it here. Help!

Thanks, Charlene

I don't remember where I went to get my ticker. Someone posted a link. You pick it all out, and then copy and paste the HTML codes into your signature. You get your signature from the user CP up at the top.

Where do you live?

      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.
