I love the photo album Idea, I think it will be so helpful to those making the decision to be banded and to show all our progress along the way. It seems like we are turing into a really movational support group and I love it. Thanks to all of us !!! Maybe we can come up with a meeting schedual for future meeting!!! Looks like we are starting to get organized!!!

I would love to see this become a monthly thing... a support group of our own making. I'm definitely up for that. :-)

I'm sorry you weren't able to meet you today. You were in our thought and wondered if you even felt up to joining us.

You'll have to join us next month. We're meeting at the same place and time on March 8th.

Glad you're feeling well!!!

It was definitely great to meet everyone today. What a terrific bunch of bandsters we are (I'd say gals, but we did have Guy with us :-))

Next month we'll have to try the tables in a different configuration. I truthfully didn't expect the awesome turnout we had... but I'm so glad everyone made it. I just kept saying all afternoon "that was so fun!"

See you all next month!

Thanks everyone for sharing your journeys!!! It was so cool to see how everyone has progressed and the pics were very inspiring!!

      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
