Still no grandbaby yet. DD is going to ask Doc to induce her tomorrow but I doubt he will. I feel like I am getting a cold and that would be horrible if I can't hold the baby!

Thanks Taps

The problem will be me talking too much - giving my tought band love (operative word love) and I am not always very subtle. Things come out of my mouth before my brain really thinks - at least here and I read and retype my posts ;)

Janet, that's wonderful news. How did it come about that you were chosen to do that, I think that would be an honor and something I'd like to do someday after I lose all my weight. Congrats!!

Apple, no I haven't been there - website says 5 diamond hotel and me personally I wouldn't spend that kind of $$$ for a room - I like the Mirage and once x & i stayed in the Gold Nuggett in old town and rooms were cheap and looks like the had just remodeled - but that was like 8 yrs or so ago if not longer - the last time I was in Vegas was a couple of years ago for my Son's wedding at the tropicana - and I really watched the kids - so didn't do anything drove up Friday cam home Sunday - I don't even think i put one quarter in a slot ;)

From all that I have gathered here on this site - it's mostly about the diff rules that each doc has (why) - heck people don't know what to eat for their stages - I think some patients don't have enough education about what the band entails - support - mental work involved - but we will see - they will most likely be sorry they invited me :redface:

Janet, how great. I am sure you will have plenty of info to share with us when you get back.

My DR office has 2 different sites for surgery and each hospital has their own "support" system, even though you can attend any classes, support group for meeting for wither site. But i went to a support group the other ight and even the basic water/protein reuirements were different..so even when the DR are the same the hopsital group had different requirements.!!!!!

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

        Your so close now! It's gonna be great :) Wishing you a speedy recovery and looking forward to seeing how it goes!

    • buildabetteranna

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!

      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.

        Am feeling this right now. My surgery date is 4/1. Sign the consent tomorrow. I feel like I overloaded myself with too much info, too many opinions. Got to the point where I was wondering if I should do this. Then I thought of my reasons for taking this step and that settled my nerves. Still get moments of doubt but am striving forward. Am just going to follow my book from the surgeon. Joined this because I was told by my dietician that I should do this for support
