Guest I AM SO HAPPY

Hi

I'm Lori, aka Lvly now known as I am so happy.

Apologies are in order for my actions in a thread last week about $700 fills.

As you all know, this lap band is a roller coaster ride and support is needed.

This is something I do not have so I came to the discussion board, wrote about it and things got out of control. I am very sorry for all the negative words I posted. There is no excuse for my actions. I know better and I really am a very nice person.

Every word I wrote was true, about the charges for the fills, I've yet to work things out but I was called yesterday that a group of surgeons that know me too well and began a bariatric team, are accepting me as a patient for check ups and fills. They were horrified when I told them of the $1200 fill. They charge my insurance Blue Cross PPO $150 and of course I pay the difference. And they are 10 minutes away.

This move has made things better in my life in more ways than one and I am forever grateful.

I thought I would try to make amends with fellow discussion board people and cross my fingers that you all accept it.

Thanks for reading and again, I am truly sorry.

Lori aka Lvly now I am so happy.

No apology needed. We see enough stories of frustration that it's pretty easy to spot someone who just needs to unload.

      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.
