I guess warmer than here, but it can get cold there too, one day my daughter said it was thirty and they had an ice storm and then 2 days later it was in the fifties, going to savannah the day after x-mas and its 4 hours south of where she lives, we will be there for four nights so hopefully it will be warmer there..

dont worry about the gallbladder, everyone i talk too says its a piece of cake, i will call you later tom. and see how your doing. you'll be fine, i am praying for you.....:D

Hi everyone I have had nausea and pelvic pain I also missed my period this month but the blood test say I'm not pregnant. Can the band cause any of this?

the band is actually kind of between your breasts.. like at the breast bone ..Sounds like your symtoms are too far low for the band to be involved, but, I would call Hoffman or Posner's office and find out first.. don't let it go.. Good luck... let me know how you made out...

It was'nt as bad as I thought it would be. Dr. H. said everything went perfect. I did have more than one large stone (not sure how many). The only thing I had problems with was when they put the tube down my throat...Really bruised it :( But aaannnyyywaaayyys everything went great :)

Hope you're having a safe and fun trip! Let us know when you get back so that we can plan to get together before me and shar's surgeries.

      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. 🤞

      The 14th was my day. I am home and recovery is going pretty smooth. They even let me walk out of the hospital. Picture of me in recovery curtesy of my boyfriend lol.
