Hi Jason. Congrats on your good news.

You can get a ticker at Graphical Tickers and Trackers: Weight Loss, Trying To Conceive, Pregnancy.... Just follow the steps, then copy and paste the code for bulletin boards into your signature.

:cursing: Ok I needed to give everyone a up date on me cause I haven't been on for a while . After I went to see the phys. doctor they called me back and told me I needed to go to the local mental health to get a clearence letter from one of there doctors. And I went (why they wanted this I dont know) but any ways I went and they gave them the clearence letter. I got to go tomorrow and take my nutrition class then after that I got to go do a upper GI and some lab work and a cardio test then talk to the doctor and than off to the road to a new life. So things are starting to roll in the right direction for me now :redface:

Hey Jason,

It is very typical to require a psychiatric evaluation. Lapband is a major surgery and requires a big commitment on your part. They are also concerned that people with active eating disorders not be banded before dealing with those. So it was just to make sure that you're mentally and emotionally stable and able to handle the surgery and everything that goes along with it.

Sounds like things are going right along for you. Good luck!

i would make a perfect canidate (sorry spelling)

My posts are full of typos, so this is in no way a dig... I just wanted to say how much I loved your spelling of candidate. I said it out loud and I could hear your accent!

I'm English, so the difference brightened my day.

Anyway, back to the important stuff, great news about your approval mate. i hope all the rest goes just as swimmingly!

LORD GOD I hope nothing is wrong. I go tomorrow to get my stress test done and I will keep every one posted on the results. And if everything is good I will go to the next step and consult with the Dr. and then get my surgery date :thumbup:

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!

      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.

        Am feeling this right now. My surgery date is 4/1. Sign the consent tomorrow. I feel like I overloaded myself with too much info, too many opinions. Got to the point where I was wondering if I should do this. Then I thought of my reasons for taking this step and that settled my nerves. Still get moments of doubt but am striving forward. Am just going to follow my book from the surgeon. Joined this because I was told by my dietician that I should do this for support
