I got one of those 'casino cards' just to get the discounts on the buffets.

That was a weird feeling...they gave me a deck of cards and all this information on how to swipe the card at gaming tables and slots.

I've been to Vegas proably 9 times in my life and have not gambled once...not even a slot machine.

The food is great! The art, magnificent! Fun! Fun!

Went to the Venitian for the first time and WOW! A tear came to my eye, it was so beautiful! That will be the closest I ever get to Italy.

:)Praise the Lord for ALL His infinite wisdom and mercy!!!!!!!!

Well, my DH had his ultrasound today, and we should have the results tomorrow, Lord willing. I think it's going to be OK either way, he just can't stand to wait for the results. he even had pain when they did the US today, so I don't know.

Oh, by the way, I can't have my surgery because I don't have $5,000 up front. Mom said we should call the company to complain. they cover everything else 80%, why not this? We don't understand it, and we work at a hospital! you would think that they would want their employees to get healthy through this, but whatever. I am hanging in there, praying for the best! I know I want the weather to straighten up, so I can get moving and exercise!

Well, may we all have a blessed day with Jesus!!!!!!!:sneaky::drool:

I would contact the insurance company, perhaps you can file an appeal and request that you not have to pay the $5000 up front. I would give it a try at least ...

Melissa - I will be praying for you :mad2: May God's will be done!

All you need to do is come on here, read, and post. No rules - well I'm sure there are about language and attacking others etc - but that's not an issue on this thread!

Hugs and Prayers for all of God's children!!

Hello everyone, glad to be back. I have had the flu and I'm still feeling weak. I am also trying to ween myself off of being on here so much. Glad to see this site is growing.

StepofFaith, I send my prayers and best wishes out to you. Keep in touch. Don't forget to walk, sip, walk and sip.

Be blessed everyone and have a beautiful Easter.

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

        Your so close now! It's gonna be great :) Wishing you a speedy recovery and looking forward to seeing how it goes!

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!

      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.

        Am feeling this right now. My surgery date is 4/1. Sign the consent tomorrow. I feel like I overloaded myself with too much info, too many opinions. Got to the point where I was wondering if I should do this. Then I thought of my reasons for taking this step and that settled my nerves. Still get moments of doubt but am striving forward. Am just going to follow my book from the surgeon. Joined this because I was told by my dietician that I should do this for support
