I think we should give the poll a few more days after the 26th because people are pretty busy with holiday preparations and celebrations. Maybe make it through the 30th? What do you think?

I can't help you out on that one Jim! I'm not computer savvy. LOL But I appreciate you & Red pulling us all together as a group. I'm SO excited. I'm ready and today is going to be a better day of control. Have a great day!

I'm no help either. I didn't realize that when you make a poll that you put an ending date on it. I guess we'll just leave it or we could make another poll, but that might be too confusing. Ask a Moderator if there's a way to "edit" your poll.

I'm not gonna lie... I want January Jewels to win. I'm guessing it probably won't get the male votes because it is a bit feminine. I just like the whole alliteration thing and the "JJs" abbreviation and such. We'll have to see what the results are at 8:46pm on Dec. 26 though.

JJ's would be so cute....we can even have a nice jewel as part of our signature like the tenacious tens or the november nymphs...

I was thinking the exact same thing 4jin. That's why I want that name to win because it's very "versatile". I like "Drop the W8 in 08" but that's more a slogan someone can put in their sig line as opposed to a group name. That could apply to any month of 08.

Well, it looks like we have about 38 people with surgery dates and 27 votes so if you haven't voted yet, please do so! I can live with any name--honest!

      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. 🤞
