Hi, I was born and bred in Philadelphia. I really miss cheese steaks. I've lived in Florida for 30 years though so I'm almost a native. Our temp ranges can easily go from freezing to 80 in the same day. We've been in the 80's and 90's for the past week but a low of 35 is expected this week.

For the football fans out there....GO GATORS!!!!!! and GO JAGS!!!!!

Hey tapshoes, welcome! I will forever be indebted to a Canadian for turning me on to hockey! =)

tripod, I love your Bender avatar!

I finally got brave enough to poke my head in here and look for a fellow West Virginian or Kentuckian and you guys are talking about football again. There's no escape. =)

Just had my surgery Feb 25, 2008, in Ypsilanti, Michigan. I have my stats below. I went from 411 lbs to 380 lbs in the first 2 weeks. But I started to eat regular foods. I learned what sliming was, but I also learned HOW to eat. I learned to CHEW, Chew, chew, and I could eat almost anything. This upset my Nutritionist , but my Dr. seemed OK with my progress. Now since all the swelling has gone down I can eat almost anything again, we even go out to eat off the menu. I go in this Thur. for my 1st band fill. I really hope it helps me to restrict my food intake and help me feel full. I am at the same weight I was 4 weeks ago, 378 lbs. I am having a hard time with staying on eating a small amount 4 times a day.

I am glad I found this site and look forward to encouragement from what I read here.

Surgery Type: Lap Band

Surgeon: Dr. Poplawski

DOS: Feb 25, 2008

Height: 6'4"

Top Weight: 420+ Lbs

Weight at Surgery: 411 Lbs

Current Weight: 380 Lbs

MinPinMom,

Right now I'm really close by. My daughter and family live in Spring.

The great thing about having people in Texas (besides the fact that I love it here) is knowing what the weather will be in Florida 2 days later.

I live in Gainesville and summer is starting with a vengance.

I'm born and raised in Alabama. I can agree with Mommy2 about the weather. Our weather here is like that of Florida. I have my heat on first thing in the morning and my air conditioner on by afternoon. But I love it. Sweet Home Alabama!

      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.
