call me a doubting thomas, but I wondered if she was doing a bit of an anne diamond, not admitting to sugery. And fern, she is keeping rather quiet about her own weight loss isnt she. Good for both of them, I am not critisising in any way. If they have been banded and want to keep it private, I wish them luck.

She looks fantastic. Usually I don't read the comments because there's always some smart-arse with derogatory comments such as 'still fat though' from Bob Downe in Lincoln.:confused: Just wondered is Bob Downe a joke name, kinda like duck down? :wink2:

Have you seen the news today. Its apparently been confirmed by Fern herself that she was actually banded two years ago (though its quoted at saying she's only lost 3 stone since, it looks like a lot more to me!)

She looks great & I think it does a lot for other peoples perceptions of Gastic Bands for someone like her to "come clean" & admit to the op. If people can see how it helps someone like her, then they might understand more. But she has put a lot of emphasis on the exercise regime she has also undertaken, like cycling & walking the dog. I'm hoping it doesn't make people think its a quick fix solution. The fact it was 2 years ago shows the lengthy journey that it takes.

I'm just glad I got my band done already! Guess how big the queue will be at the GP's surgerys in the morning, when it puts the idea in peoples heads!! :lol:

Suzi :P

      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.
