NSV...My band just cost $10 less



Recommended Posts

Well it's been a week and a day since I got my LB. I don't know how much I've lost becasue I am waiting for my first post op Dr. visit on Mar 15 for that. Anyway, I know I've lost weight because I am able to fit into a lot of pants that haven't fit in a long time. Today I decided to try on a pair of khaki cargo pants I had in a box in the closet(yeah, my "skinny clothes" box) They fit! Size 50! smile.gif A week and two days ago I was tightly fitting into a 54! And guess what I found in the front pocket? $10! smile.gif

And today is even my birthday! WAHOOO!!! banana.gif

Funny I sent clothes (size 50 pants to be exact) to a clothes swap and forgot to take my last $10.00 I had in one of the pockets. If you tell me what pocket I can confirm if the money is mine. We can make arraingments to get it back to me.

Good luck and your going to find many things better then the $10.00 coming your way now that your banded

Hey B&T, happy birthday and congratulations! I agree with Trish -- put that 10 bucks toward new pants. I recommend Old Navy; my brother gets jeans & cords for $7 there and I got a pair last week for $3.97. Good luck with your doctor's visit on the 15th; I bet you'll have lost a lot of lbs.

Happy Birthday!!! I finally went to the Maniaacs site and you are Biggy, right? With baby number three due in April? Well, I know where that 10 bucks is going then, forget about spending it on yourself...your wife gets the money, and she gets a healthy husband and dad for her children. Congrats and Happy Birthday!

      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. 🤞
