Vegas Bandsters - Support Group



Recommended Posts

We've been trying to pull something together for a while now. FeliciaLevy and I met today and decided it would be good if we could get together once a month. So we picked Sunday, July 13th, for an early afternoon lunch - say 1:00 pm. We thought a tapas restaurent would be good because of the small tasting sizes. Cafe Babareeba is located in the Fashion Valley Mall on Las Vegas Blvd. The food is excellent and it's about $9-10 per tapas order. If we all order differently, we can pass them around. They also have Soup if you are still on full liquids.

Not sure the best way for us all to communicate. For now, let's use this thread. Keep me posted if you can attend. If our group gets large, I will make sure they can acommodate us. You can check out their web site at www.cafebarbareeba.com

It was great meeting Sam - we ended up talking for 2.5 hours. We all have so much to share...and it is WONDERFUL talking to someone who is in the same place as you.

Try to make this. Looking forward to meeting all of you!

REMINDER! July 13 is a week from this coming Sunday!

So far, it looks like me, Cadets71 and MominLV13.

We'd love to have more bandsters to chat with and enjoy the day!

Well, I was about three rows behind you (right side also). Remember your pony tail but don't think I saw your face. Darn, wish we had been on the board before the meeting!

      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.
