Yeah Lisa,

The insurance thing is a joke. My insurance said they would cover any complications including the flouro part of my fills but not the original band...OKAY??? What are we missing? I'm thinking about doing what Penni is doing and submitting it for reimbursement just to see what they say. Sorry your deeper in the hole... Oh, I lost my mind and bought my hubby a moped a few weeks ago. He loves it!!! Babies it all the time and finally something got him off of his computer games. I was able to buy it off of my best friend for $100 and we've put another $330 into it getting it all registered, tagged, titled, new tires and lastly full coverage insurance incase the nucklehead falls off. I'm just thrilled he likes it so much. Anyway keep up the healing girl! XOXO Teresa

Till the knucklehead falls off! GOOD ONE. Yes, I love my band, and I feel like I just went pee-pee in the big toilet for the first time... I just took my first shower in almost a year without a bandage. I'll stuff the thing with gauze in a few minutes, but it sure feels good running around without a diaper shoved in my belly for a few minutes!

I have zero restriction. Last night I ate my biggest meal ever. I need a fill!

Lisa- How much longer do they think it will take- before you are all healed up? Or is it a guessing game? I sure hope you'll be totally healed for Vegas & You can be the first one IN THE POOL!!!!

I think this hole is closing up at a pretty good speed. I used to pack it, then put gauze over the top. Now I'm just packing it and putting tape over the top since there's not much to pack any more. I think it will be closed by May 5, which will be my one year band anniversary. That's my plan.

Good Deal - that would work out well & with time to spare before the bash. By the way your face is looking very thin in your new avatar. I've got some great hair remover for that fuzz above your lip if you want to borrow some-lol ;0)

And the scar doesn't look like a mouth with teeth now. It looks like an eyeball with eyelashes. I'll take a picture tonight.

Penni, I was afraid to say anything cause I thought it would explode back open! Now that it's closed, I can't wait to get a port and have it opened up again! Woohoo, can we go one more year?

      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. 🤞
