Calling all scrapbookers...



Recommended Posts

Hello everyone,

I was just wondering if there are any scrapbookers on here, and specifically, if any of you have done a scrapbook about your lap band journey?

Thanks!:biggrin1:

I buy them and then they sit on my shelf unused. Even got one already completed from my mom (just had to add pictures) and it sits on the shelf too. Does that count? :)

I am a very avid (obsessed) scrapbooker. I haven't had my surgery yet but I plan on making an album just for my weightloss and journey.

Hey Amber! I am from West Monroe! I considered Dr. Merriman as well, but I am going with Dr. Cribbins in Dallas. Good luck on your consult!

Nope! :) It doesna count until the photos are IN and the journaling is done!

But it's a nice place to start from!

Munchkin, I'm only 3 months out so all I've done is take a few photos -- but I have a box that has all my hospital bracelets (and forms -- I had three different sets!) and I have an outline of different photos I need to take. I expect it to be one of my MOST shared albums!

How about you?

      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.

      Had a sleeve in 2017, lost over 100 pounds. Had a DS surgery this year (2025) for more sustainable weight loss. 🤞

      The 14th was my day. I am home and recovery is going pretty smooth. They even let me walk out of the hospital. Picture of me in recovery curtesy of my boyfriend lol.
