Hi all!

Thanks for the Thread!

Hi new people.

Anyone watch the Palin and Biden last night? Constitutional gay rights but not civil???

Curious.

Hey Juli, I did.

I wasn't totally happy with either answer...but I know that we have to do these things in steps. Right now my concern is for the country surviving after all the abuse Bush put it through. So constitutuional rights is a start and as soon as I get that I will be on the front lines of the fight to have the right to marry.

I think that Bidden doesn't care if we get married, I honestly don't think that McCain or Obama does either. Saying that they believe in the term "gay marriage" I do think would cost them the election, as much as it pains me to say. But the younger generations are coming up there. I think in the next 10 years, if we keep fighting we will have federally recognized gay marriage. The old prejudice farts can't live forever. There will always be the Palins of the world, but we are going to outnumber them.

Thats my two cents.

I heart lesbians.

We rock. Generalizations and all. Nothing like talking to a like-minded gal. :lol:

Hi all,

I'm Macro (37yo female) from Australia. Banded on 2nd July, 2009. I have just had my second fill and am now really learning the lesson of chewing and eating slowly. Didn't have ANY restriction with first fill, and didn't think the second one would make a difference either (how wrong was I!!?)

So glad to have found this LGBT forum, thank you so much whoever started it!!!

Hey everyone! I just got banded Oct 30th and feel really good.

I am bi, I guess. I have had relationships with men and have met a lot of women, but usually I am just really attracted to women but not in a relationship way, if you know what I mean. I suppose one day I will figure it out. I am single now and just having fun.

Nice to meet you all!

      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
