More oversharing ... had no idea until recently that emoji meant hugs. I thought it meant "excited", like jazz hands. Once I realized I tried to think back if I inappropriately sent hugs to any one, like customers, or my boss ... still unsure ... :unsure:

I'd been sending what I thought was a fistbump through Slack until a millennial told me it's actually a face-punch. So now I just send my team completely random and inappropriate emojis deliberately, screw it. Let them figure it out.

A SMH for me, would you post an approximate location for yourself?, It does little benefit for me to babble on about something if I am in the USA and you're in Australia, UK or Abu Dhabi, all fine places but you haven't a clue what I am referring to.

Something to wonder about my records, everybody tells me it says I have hypertension, yet my PCP doesn't prescribe anything for it. Closest I have is my Wellbutrin and that's for mild depression. Oh well, if hypertension blows the Top off my head, all they will say is "Poor Frustr8, her thoughts were always a little scattered" or call me an "Airhead" LOL children, this world 🌏 is an Odd Old Place!

Hypertension is high blood pressure. What are your numbers? If you are not satisfied or would just prefer to see a specialist, you can see a specialist for high blood pressure which is usually either a cardiologist or a nephrologist (a kidney specialist). Wellbutrin treats depression and could be contributing to the problem.

Anywhere from 118/58 at Bariatric surgeon to 140/90 while feuding with PCP, yeah I am labile but don't raise my hackles and things will be smooth. Have an appointment with Dr Karve, pronounced Kar-vay, in January, she's my cardiologist, uber smart, sure will address it with her if not sooner! Yes I sure don't want hypertension beating my 3 kidneys to death, rather fond of them all, my paltry claim to fame!

This doesn't seem to be anything that needs treating from my perspective. It's normal for our bp's to raise when feuding...it's what the body does. 140/90 is barely borderline in a fight/flight response time. Normal.

*but I'm not a doc nor do I play one on the internet or tv.*

Yeah you know what we were feuding about. He said to me " I won't tell them any different, but don't you really think you ought give up bariatric surgery because of your age? No I don't, I have worked too hard toward it.

Annnnnnnnnnd I'm back.

I'm going to need this site to consider creating dedicated sections for Stalls and Regrets.

That's all you see these days in regards to need threads and it's kind of repetitive.

I haven’t even had my surgery yet and I’m tired of all the stall posts. Would be nice to have a FAQs for new members thread at the top of every forum. Not sure if people would read it but it may help some people. The first FAQ should address that the search feature is your friend. Your question has probably been addressed before and to Please start there.

I'm always amazed at how nice most of the vets are to the folks that come in with "Help! I'm blah blah years out and I've regained a million pounds! What did I do wrong? Did I stretch my stomach?" You seriously have no clue what you could have done wrong? I don't know about you, but if I was smashing mostly healthy food everyday and GAINED weight consistently for such a long period of time, I'd be scared as f**k! I would be rolling my ass to the MD because clearly my body has me fucked up. That ain't normal.

        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
