ksp, I used to live in trenton but moved to Jefferson City a few months ago. I am going up to get a fill this wednesday, my last one was a couple months ago. Last time I went, Tina thought I was doing good so she didnt give me a fill. Lately I think I have gained back a few lbs and am hungry more so I think its time for another one. Do you go to the Thursday support groups? They meet the 2nd thursday each month and they are great meetings. Hope to see you at one soon!

Sorry I haven't check my email for a couple of weeks. I went to one support ground and really liked it. Intended to go in April and fogot about it. Intended to go tonight and had a family issue come up so I'm not doing so great getting there. I'm a little disappointed because I still don't have a surgery date set yet. Had to have a heart stress test done last week and have called doc's office last two days and no one has returned my call. I'm SO READY to do this but now I'm afraid it may not happen. I'm a little depressed.

Are you still doing well with your banding? For someone waiting to do it, what is your best and worst experience?

I'm being banded July 22nd, by Dr. Pitt. I am going to try to make the support group meeting on Thursday. I went to the one in April before I was approved by my insurance and was amazed at the amount of people there. It was really awesome getting to meet some of the people there that were just a few weeks out of surgery and had such great success, very inspirational.

Good luck on the banding!

The ticker is pretty easy, just click on it create one that you like and then copy the bb code then go to your profile and add it to your signature.

I haven't gotten the liquid diet instructions yet. I go on Wednesday. I'm a little nervous, but I did medifast for a solid two months.

Hang in there you're almost to surgery date!... You CAN do it!! Just a few more days. I'm not going to be able to make the meeting either, just remembered I have to play softball at 7:15 an Columbia is a forty minute drive no way to make it. I will make next months for sure. Can't wait to meet you guys.

GOOD LUCK, God bless and please keep us posted on how you are doing.

      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.
