I was happy Alex added that too. I don't feel like enough of a success story to post in there. I need to stop eating ice cream!

Just posting to say that reflux-induced insomnia just freaking sucks.

I totally agree. I want to know what causes that. I am not tight. I can eat anything I want and I don't have to chew like I used to.

Oh and posting to post that I got my hair cut on my day off today. It was basically all one length, 3-4" past my shoulders. The length is still there but she cut in some layers. Lots less boring! (Alas, not blue tho - I work in a conservative establishment.)

Posting to post that I met my very first LBT'r today! Bimbabe and I knew that we were going to be at our surgeon's around the same time. I was being a stalker and asked another lady if she was on here. Neither she nor another lady in the waiting room had heard of LBT but were very excited to know about it. Do I get a toaster for bringing in 2 new folks? :-) Oh and I told my hairdresser about LBT. She has a friend thinking about WLS.

Bimbabe and I are very excited about our upcoming surgeries. Our surgeon has moved 100% to the Realize band; I don't know if I have an opinion about that or not. Hopefully she and I can hold each other accountable in the future. We should hear Wednesday about our pre-op and surgery dates. Yippee skippy!!! :lovechoc:

PS - The upper GI wasn't as bad as I had thought. Having said that, I'm not offering to do one for fun next week, mind you. She had me rolling around on that table like a fat, flopping fish. She said, "yea, we call this table aerobics." I said, "if I did aerobics, I wouldn't be fat!" :P

Well I am so sorry I missed this. Thank you for bringing friends to LBT. :scared2:

Glad you made an accountability buddy!

Ah sh*t. SO sorry to hear that. But once you get the band you can kick it to the curb.

Thanks! Oh, interesting doctor info - we do 2 days of liquids before the surgery and that's all. Also he doesn't think that soda makes the band slip. I still think I'm going to forgo even tho I'm an addict. We do liquids 3 weeks afterward so I should definitely lose some weight then!

I gained right up until my pre-op liquid diet. My doctor usually does a 3 day diet but he made me do 5 days to make sure I lost a few pounds before surgery.

AHH - the first cup of coffee on a Saturday morning! House is quiet, street is remarkably (unusually) quiet, and the madness of cram-everything-into-the-weekend-because-it-is-your-only-time-off has yet to begin.

      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.
