I'm the one with the Elton John Billy Joel tickets. I think I would have been ok . But I'm glad they postponed it so I can heal a little longer.

Val, maybe they ought to give you one of those swallow tests.. Usually you feel that way (so tight) right after a fill.. after your loosing all that weight, I'd hate to get unfilled and start over..let us know what happens at the appointment today.

Bugs, what time were u there today, my appt got moved up, and i was there at 11:30.............I got .2cc fill, I'll see how that does cause right now i'm just too loose. I gained a pound and it would have been more if it weren't for sheer willpower.

val, how did you make out today, I told dr. H. to say hello for me since i wouldn't be there like I thought at 1:00.. I got unfilled several weeks ago, and I gained 20 lbs, so i hope they didn't deflate u..keep us posted..........vicki

      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.
