Hey everyone! I haven't been on here for awhile and wanted to say hi. Love reading everyone's posts. Congrats to all who have lost weight. It's a slow go for me but so worth it. I have lost 31 lbs. Had to dig in my closet for something to wear to church that fit. It was a good feeling. I go back to work tomorrow and will be happy for the routine...can't be tempted to eat when I have to look after 18 2nd graders. :cool:

Jason..your pic is great..congrats on your weight loss.

Shawna..hope you're doing well. When I had my gall bladder out a couple of years ago, I felt so much better afterwards.

Take care all.

Deb

Hi everyone!! Just thought I would stop in and say hello. I am sorry I missed the meeting on Saturday. I had my gall bladder out on Thursday (everything went well) and then I had to photograph a wedding on Saturday (probably not the best idea). Glad to see everything is going well. I will definately be at the next meeting.

=)

Hello Everyone.:lol:

I am a newbie. Banded on 8/11/09 by Dr Miles. Had to stay overnight due to Medicare. I am doing well with only minor pain every now and again. Haven't had to take anything for the pain yet. Staples come out tomorrow.

I want to thank Shawna for agreeing to be my Angel mentor. It makes me feel stronger to know I have someone that will reach out if needed.

I cannot believe that I haven't wanted a diet cola at all since giving them up. I was so addicted to them. Water with crystal lite seems to be satisfying me for now.

As soon as I figure out how to put all the "pretties" on here, I'll get mine up.:D

      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.
