I have experienced within the last week that I can no longer wear my wedding band. So yesterday I took it off and until I lost my 100pounds I am not going to have it resized. I do have my great great grandmothers wedding band that I can almost wear. My husband thought I was taking my ring off for good, but I just don't want to lose it. Too many people that mean too much to me are within my wedding band.

Interesting you should post this today. My husband just picked my rings up yesterday. I had to have them sized down one size...my wedding rings and my grandmother's wedding ring. I had actually thought I had lost my grandmother's ring because it slipped off my finger. Luckily I found it inside the zipper pocket in my purse. It had come off when I was putting my keys in! So that did it for me! Straight to the jewelers they went. $60 well spent!!!

:whoo:

I had this happen to me and I was lucky enough to find it. BUT I did get it resized and voiced my concern about having to have it done over and over. Well turns out that my jewler lets you resize it for free after the initial sizing as long as it is just 1 size. SO there is no need for me to wait anymore, I am wearing them on the wrong hand again. lol...

I'm in the same boat. My rings were too big when we got them, and then I had surgery and they just continue to be way too big. They slide around and never look 'set' like they're suppose to. The engagement ring would NOT stay on my finger if I didn't have the wedding ring that holds it on. I want to get them resized, but waiting as long as I can. The place we got the rings only warranties the diamonds if you use them to work on the rings, and DH bought them in TN (argh!) so it's a couple hours away. They are size 11 (eng) and 10 (wedding) and I think I'm a solid 9 right now. I still have a while to go, and may take mine off if they both start sliding off.

During one of my "yo-yo" diets, I had lost about 60 lbs. My wedding ring no longer fit snug enough to stay on my finger. We went and bought a MUCH less expensive silver ring to substitute until I got to my goal weight. Well that never happened! I think this time around I will get there. By the way, our wedding rings are James Avery, if anybody knows who that is?

Here is the site. Pretty cool jewelry.

I got my wedding ring resized about a month ago, its got channel set diamonds in it and would shift around too much on my finger and never be front and centre. Its coming on Summer here, so I am going to wait to get my engagement ring done til after I see if my fingers still swell with the heat, then I'll get it done too if I need it, I predict I will.

        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
