Suggestion for LapBandTalk



Recommended Posts

Per Alex's request, here is my only suggestion for the board.

I know I am not alone in wishing there was a classifieds area where we could post clothing for sale (or donation) for other members to peruse and purchase if they would like. Almost like our own personal ebay. I belong to another board and would be willing to show Alex or a moderator their classified section...(It's not for larger folks, or I would stop asking for this and just use theirs!!!)

While I'm writing to you...I'd like to say that I am so grateful for this board and the members of it. The support here has been unparalleled. Thank you!

Thanks for thinking about this.

That's a great idea! I'm starting to collect clothing that I can't wear anymore, and it would be wonderful to be able to pass it on to other people that could use it.

I think this is a wonderful idea. Some of my clothes don't fit anymore and having to buy brand new clothes all the time gets expensive. I would also love to pass mine on to someone who could get some use out of it. Great idea!

I've got two garbage bags full of 24s to 28s! I wanted to have a yard sale, but we don't have a yard and are moving to a condo in another town. I hate to take the clothes with me, since I'm sure I won't need them again, and will probably just give them to good will. But getting a few dollars for them would have really been nice as they were all in excellent condition!

i'm loving that idea. i'm currently an 18, but as i go down in size, i cannot afford to buy a lot of new clothes. so a personal e-bay would give me the option to purchase at a lower price.

      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.
